July/August 2009

Issue 3 of the Big Picture features our look at predictions of the future in the movies from dark and drizzly dystopian visions to more outlandish (and humourous) forecasts. We catch up with New York City outdoor screening specialists Rooftop Films, chat with photographer Pieter Dirkx about his meticulously recreated location film stills and look at the influence German Expressionism had on noir and horror films that followed. Also included are a dissection of Metropolis movie posters, a trip on Marty McFly's Hoverboard and we pay a visit to Celebration, Florida - the town that dreams are made of.
