Future's Market opens with a drawing of the sky with shiny dots that resemble the planets and then a voice over describing how the Greek poet Simonides of Ceos invented the art of memory that was used for centuries by philosophers, poets and architects. A meditation of dreams and desires that ultimately turn into a product. A real estate salesperson delivers to the potential investors the virtualization of an urban space even with furniture, a space of their thoughts keeping in mind primarily the profit. The quality of hopes, ideas and dreams as spiritual values have been replaced by material ones reminding us that we forgot how to look at people and things. A brilliantly composed documentary, with extraordinary framing of the art of Michelangelo and post-modern compositions of open spaces.  (Nina Veligradi)
