‘The Future’ is Miranda July’s new feature film in which she stars, it explores the way we spend our time and think about the present in the context of the future, as an average of however many years we are generally expected to survive. July uses film as a medium in the same way she uses text or performance and touches on the idea of authorship through the artists appearance in performance works functioning in a similar way to her own appearance in the film. July is described as a filmmaker, artist, writer and explores ideas through whatever medium is appropriate to communicate her ideas.
