Read the introduction to this video essay on MUBI's Notebook: 'Hands of the Future' by Sabrina D. Marques, Mehdi Jahan, Dan Shoval, Adrian Martin (Voiceover). A video essay on ‘palm reading’ in Cinema. Fragments from various films interact with one another, constructing a narrative about the possible exchanges between the past and future predicted in the present moment through the act of palm reading in Cinema, hinting at narrative possibilities and associations across the history of Cinema. The Video Essay is a joint project of MUBI and FILMADRID International Film Festival. Film analysis and criticism found a completely new and innovative path with the arrival of the video essay, a relatively recent form that has already its own masters and is becoming increasingly popular. The limits of this discipline are constantly expanding; new essayists are finding innovative ways to study the history of cinema working with images. With this non-competitive section of the festival, both MUBI and FILMADRID will offer the platform and visibility the video essay deserves. The seven selected works will be shown from the 6th till the 12th of June 2022 on MUBI's cinema publication, the Notebook. The selection was made by the programmers of MUBI and FILMADRID. 30 Days of Great Cinema Free: Subscribe to our YouTube channel: Follow us on Instagram: Follow us on Twitter: Follow us on Facebook:
