This Is What the Future Looked Like

A virtual reality ode to Buckminster Fuller and his signature creation, the geodesic dome. Shot on location at many of the great extant domes, including the Expo 67 Dome in Montreal as well as the dome Fuller lived in for many years in Carbondale, Illinois, This is What the Future Looked Like is a meditation on design, the utopian impulse, and the virtual reality form itself. With original music composed by Yo La Tengo. (Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival)
