Hi,
I just got back from seeing the movie, Future My Love by Maja Borg. Unfortunately, Maja, whom I have never met, wasn’t there. They invited her but said that she is too involved in her current film to be in SF right now.
I don’t know if some of you have seen the film or not. It was just by chance that I happened to see it was here at the LGBT film festival which is called FRAMELINE, playing only once and less than a mile from my home.
I liked the film. It isn’t perfect and I won’t say it does Technocracy justice, but still I enjoyed the ideas being presented in a fairly straight forward way. Also I loved seeing George, and John Darvil with Paul Cordsmeyer in the background. There was quite a bit of footage of Arvid Peterson who I can’t remember if they identified or not, but the film kept going back to his presentation. I don’t think it was identified specifically as a video made by Technocracy (as opposed to something Jacques put together or gave the filmmaker). It was just in there and the film went back to parts of that video as it went along. There was a lot of archival footage so I am sure the audience wasn’t confused; they could tell it was OLD and not made yesterday.
Jacques definitely gets the lion’s share of the coverage. Toward the end of the movie we see him putting up a for sale sign on his property in Florida though we don’t know if it sold. The reason given was that he and Roxanne Meadows could not afford to keep it. Where he is now, I don’t know. He talks about getting interested in Technocracy and seeking the Technocrats out, but then later he says he found those Technocratic scientists to be too narrow each in their own fields. I don’t know how he would claim that played out and caused him difficulties, he only says that that is why he left Technocracy. Maybe someone we know could enlighten me (us) on the topic. I am more inclined to think it was problems with people’s egos. I do know that John Taube was dead set against the Venus Project Video when someone (I can’t remember who) brought the film for showing at the Balboa Street Office. John had a argument with him too, partly about Jacques Fresco.
[Anyway, “principles not personalities” as 12 step programs stress.]
John Taube felt that trying to portray what a “Technate” might look like or even function like was a waste of time and misleading. Clearly, Jacques felt differently. Jacques loves to invent and draw pictures of buildings and inventions so it would be hard to condemn him on that score.
The ideas which Jacques discusses are to the best of my knowledge ideas he took from Technocracy, and I have always understood and certainly felt that the more people who take those ideas the better. I understand that Howard Scott was all for people stealing as much as they could from our literature. The ideas aren’t for sale and, god knows, nobody is making any money off them that I can see. I don’t know; maybe Jacques has been able to use those ideas to promote things lucrative to him, but I kind of doubt it. Witness he was losing his property.
Running through the whole film is a back and forth story of Maja’s (or maybe just the protagonist’s) relationship with another lovely, young woman. It is an on again, off again relationship, and by the end they are getting divorced (amicably it would seem). It is not a linear plot line, but it does break up the didactic nature of the material presented, and there is both some excellent photography and good music. You kind of gather as pieces go by that the two women have been in love and in that “altered state of consciousness” they also shared their concerns about the world and how to maybe save some of the beauty and people of the world before all our familiar crisis destroy everything.
I videotaped some of the film. No one said that I couldn’t. I hope Maja doesn’t mind. An usher did come and stop me a while into the film saying that having my phone on was bothering people behind me. I am sorry for that and that I had to stop filming anything.
With whatever caveats we might feel, Jacques did a respectable job of presenting the Technocratic position, even though he didn’t attribute it well. He discussed wars and the futility of our economy with its growing need to waste resources, and the danger of reckless and selfish individualism as it now predominates so often. He notes that we are products of our culture and don’t begin to have the “freedom” we may think we have.
There is a short piece in which he discusses meeting with Albert Einstein. Again he leans on the theme that “scientists” in their narrow fields aren’t necessarily willing to discuss social issues. He says Einstein wanted to talk about math and not social issues. Well, maybe, maybe not, is my feeling. They obviously weren’t regularly meeting; he notes only that they met once. My knowledge of Einstein is that he spent a fair amount of time concerned with social issues, including Israel and that he wrote a wonderful pamphlet which I once wrote an article on about how to reorganize our socioeconomic system which followed the lines of Technocracy rather closely. Whether Einstein developed or just knew of those ideas, he adopted them to the political situation of the Depression . Maybe he got them from Jacques in their one meeting for all I know. I can’t remember the title of the pamphlet Einstein wrote right now, but it was very good. So in this film Jacques is somehow trying to diminish Einstein’s abilities, which makes me think Jacques is being competitive. He is vulnerable to the same weaknesses as most people are. Still, to compete with Einstein is a pretty tough choice and makes Jacques look weaker rather than stronger.
Jacques circles back and lists a number of social/economic bodies of thought that came up in the Depression, including Technocracy by name, lumps them together and dismisses them, saying, “They all used old language and old values; they were unable to come up with something fresh and new.” So then he shows (the film shows) a much younger him sitting under a palm tree on some island. He tells us that he needed to get some new ideas so he traveled and observed fishermen who came back with their catches and just distributed the fish to whomever wanted to take fish. I don’t know. I suppose there have been such gestures and practices some places, some times. Most likely when and If everyone in the vicinity were considered part of the in-crowd, their family, their cohort.
By now Jacques may be sounding really bad; honestly he presented the material fairly well and that at 95 years old.
When I left the show I spoke with a lady who was much affected by the film. She said the ideas are quite a reach, and even though Technocracry wasn’t the star, she was pondering how it came to be that she didn’t know anything about Technocracy before this and also that she had never heard of Fresco. I gave her a copy of the Energy Certificate Pamphlet which we rewrote not that long ago. It is still a great size for passing out. I passed out a few more. And that was that.

From: Frameline 37 – a girl scout guide to the film festival – San Francisco -Examiner.com June 20, 2013
“Future My Love” (Sweden, 2012), directed by Maja Borg is an extraordinary pearl of a film. The documentary is about the Venus project in Venus Florida run by the now 95 year social engineer old Jacque Fresco and Roxanne Meadows. What is it?
“The Venus Project offers a comprehensive plan for social reclamation in which human beings, technology and nature will be able to coexist in a long term, sustainable state of dynamic equilibrium.”
Borg takes this precept and applies it to her own personal relationship with a woman in the Middle East who she eventually marries…and divorces. This footage is in black and white. The documentary is an extraordinary assembly of pieces that exemplify the need for a sustainable economy. The atomic bomb is the ultimate failure and warning presented visually several times. The future is irretrievably pessimistic, according to the documentary, though there is the possibility for a world yet to come. Borg’s voiceover reveals, “most of us are unwilling to sacrifice the world we have no matter how artificial and shallow it seems”. By the time the film ends, this seems more and more obvious, causing some anxiety.
According to Jacque, the depression ended with WWII, not because poverty was solved. The film shows how war has been a way to get out of economic crisis “Now we have three wars and we don’t have much more to blow up or pollute”, continues the voiceover. According to Jacque, there has to be an economic collapse and the realization that we need science to create a sustainable economy.
Borg makes a parallel with the chaotic and war driven society and the personal relationship based on jealousy and anger. She wonders if she is a ”redundant female artifact”? Often love is destructive and Borg asks, “If we can do so much damage imagine how much good we can do”. She also postulates, " the freer I become with my lovers, the more power I have". Everything she says about love, she also says about our chaotic world.
“Future My Love” is an intelligent film and screens June 26 at 11.30 at the Castro Theatre in San Francisco.

Hi Tomasz,
The film will be made available online and on DVD soon but we’ve been quite successful at getting the film into festivals and getting interest from distributors, and both generally don’t like it if the film has been widely available before.
Stay tuned!

I’ve recently stumbled upon The Venus Project and “Future my Love” film. I really want to watch the movie ASAP. Here comes the question: Why don’t you sell it (online/DVD), is the screening the only way to see the full movie?
I mean what are the reasons behind not making the movie available to a broader public?

Filmen var fantastisk. Såg den i Stockholm igår.
Jacques ena kväll hos Larry King var kraftfullt och punkligt avklippt så att tittare nya till hans poänger fick dom i lagom doser och fick tid att tänka till.
Det var fantastisk inte bara för att den tog upp något viktigt och konkret utan även något personligt och i det närmaste filosofiskt i och med dina egna privata reflektioner om kärlek och att tillhöra dagens samhälle.
Jag uppskattade faktiskt även att filmen tog 5år att sammanställa (även om det som du sagt slitit på dig personligen i och med allt arbete) för det gav filmen mer djup och kunde inte bara berätta om vad som hänt sedan finanskrisen utan även visa hur det var emellan (när dom var nära att sälja sitt forskningscenter för att flytta till Equador).
Det var inte bara en viktig film för att komma ut med dina känslor, visa Jacque och Roxannes arbete för världen utan ta upp många viktiga lärdomar som alla ung som gammal kan ha nytta av för framtiden och i deras vardagliga liv.
Hoppas det här inte blev för babbligt. Jag uppskattade din film mycket och tackar för att jag kunde få betala för att se den. Bra saker förtjänar ens pengar även om pengar egentligen inte borde finnas alls (men det är ju en annan sak…)
Tack Maja! :)

finally got to watch your trailer,
I really like it! I see a lot of films using old footage and photos and it doesn’t always work, but in this case it works really well.
Maya clearly has a talent for storytelling and your trailer is very clever. There is a very important message in there which could risk being boring, but together with the beautiful imagery and careful choice of words and information , and music , She has produced a though provoking piece, even just in the short trailer, . Really looking forward to seeing the full film. Refreshing to see such an intelligent well thought out perspective on ‘the future’
I’m sure the film will do really well, As a new Filmaker I can only aspire to such a standard.
Well done to the Director Maya and the team behind it.

Looking forward to seeing the film. Jacque Fresco is the most interesting person I have ever met. And his assertion that societies will have to evolve to a Resource Based Economy seems to be more and more likely as time moves on and certainly deserves discussion especially in light of the rapidly advancing technology.

Dimitry, thanks for your comment. The film focuses on connecting Jacque Fresco’s concepts of a resource-based economy to the way we behave in human relationships. Maja Borg, the director, connected to Jacque before the Zeitgeist Movement was around. And there is a bit of Zeitgeist in the film, when Peter Joseph is hosting Fresco a the launch of a Zeitgeist film.

I’ve been following zeitgeist & venus project for a long time now and I am happy that more filmmakers are taking note of these ideas and slowly introducing them to the collective consciousness.
I am however a little bit perplexed as to why Zeitgeist wasn’t mentioned in the film as they used to be the activist arm of the Venus Project before a split occurred. While both point to the same idea by Jacque fresco, Zeitgeist is more known and has more supporters and mentioning them in the film could actually make a larger impact than not mentioning them at all.
Just some food for thought…
Overall, a revolutionary idea for a revolutionary world and best of luck with it!

The most beautifully groundbreaking documentary I’ve ever seen.
Let me put it this way: Future My Love is a must-see. If you find that you are not into the subject, it is still touching and beautiful. If you find it stimulating then you are drawn into a huge depth and breadth of narrative and thought-provoking material.

I was lucky to catch the second (ever?) screening of the film last thursday and even luckier to be at the Q&A afterwards. The film is beautiful – poem, a story, an essay, with music that both moves the soul and the feet and a narration in a voice I could listen to forever. And at its core is the sharpest intelligence and the most disarming honesty and humility. She lays bare a very personal process of reflection to invite us to consider the processes that are part of a better society. While she doesn’t have all the answers she is confidently unafraid of technology and knows that we need more than just to be nice to each other. It’s a brave film, so brave. You leave the cinema with the feeling that Maja might just change the world. I hope she does.

Already being a supporter of The Venus Project and the Zeitgeist movement, I was excited to see this film tonight at the Edinburgh Film Festival. I thought the film was a very interesting new take on these issues, and hearing Maja’s discussion afterwards was even more enlightening. What an articulate, inspirational and admirable woman, and what important ideas.
My sincere hope is that humanity will eventually be able to embrace the opportunity and challenge of moving beyond the monetary system, and to think and act individually and collectively with heart and mind combined. I think creativity and art are hugely important and necessary for achieving this.
Thank you Maja for your contribution!

Wonderful idea but what about the native cultures?

I am really excited to see this documentary and appreciate all the hard work that has gone into this project. I believe you asked me to reach out to you via your website from responding to me on a YouTube comment. I have been involved with TVP for over three years now just FYI. Thanks again!

Maja & Co. I wish I could attend the launch party – the score is powerful (and that tune has been going around in my head all day!) The film looks brilliant, I can’t wait to see it finally! Best of luck, Andrea H xx

I don’t watch the film yet but I’m already too excited for ALL.
