Here's a video sent by Jacque and Roxanne in response to Maja's film. It was shown to the audience at the world premiere of FUTURE MY LOVE at the Edinburgh International Film Festival.

In the February 2013 edition of Dazed and Confused, "cinephile extraordinaire" Mark Cousins says about FUTURE MY LOVE:

“Maja’s Future My Love is a passionate, inventive epistle about the end of days. It’s a rare, lovely, generous, caring, hurt, recovering film, like Adam Curtis meets Star Trek. I loved it.”

The film had its world premiere at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, in competition for the Michael Powell Award for the best British film. Chris Fujiwara, Artistic Director of EIFF, called it a "visionary documentary". 

Influential Scottish magazine The Skinny has given the film four stars (the highest rating among their EIFF reviews):

"Complimented by a resonant orchestral score and feather-soft narration, Future My Love is beautiful, but never flimsy. While its originality resides in the suggestion we are married to damaging societal structures, its ambition lies in its faith we would ever consider a divorce."

Also by The Skinny, introducing an additional interview:

"So emerged Maja Borg’s film of future and economy, with honesty clasped to its core. Surely reason enough to applaud. But the Swedish filmmaker has also sacrificed her own experiences with love on truth’s insatiable altar to further illuminate matters."

There have been dozens of Tweets following the world premiere, all very positive, such as this one from @robertoalien:

"Maja Borg's @FutureMyLove beautiful, moving, poetic, important @edfilmfest like it, love it, share it, retweet it!" 

Celebrate the world premiere of FUTURE MY LOVE at EIFF with a magical concert of the award-winning New Tide Orquesta (NTO) on Wednesday 27 June, followed by a launch party hosted by the Scottish Documentary Institute.

Formerly known as New Tango Orquesta, six excellent musicians from Sweden have taken modern tango to new levels – and also provided the score for Maja Borg’s film.

We're very happy that Future My Love has been nominated for the prestigious Michael Powell Award at the Edinburgh International Film Festival 2012. This was announced today by Chris Fujiwara, Artistic Director of EIFF (pictured).

Named in homage to one of Britain's most original filmmakers and inaugurated in 1993, the Michael Powell Award rewards imagination and creativity in British filmmaking.
