The World of Tomorrow
Thematic 2001: Fast Forward Curated by Kent Jones
The 1939 World’s Fair was a landmark in the idea of the future and the notions of comfort and speed that were central to that idea, and still affect people today. This sweetly nostalgic movie, composed of sumptuous color footage, takes the viewer back to the fair, before the war, when one stood in awe of a brave new world.
