The drama’s impressive ensemble includes Taylor Russell (“Waves”), Andy Garcia, AnnaSophia Robb, Beth Grant, Molly Parker and Walton Goggins.

Le Choc Du Futur
Le Choc Du Futur (aka The Shock Of The Future but currently screening in the US under its French title) is the story of Ana (Alma Jodorowsky), a composer working in Paris in 1978, and her first encounter with electronic music. Capturing a moment of cultural flux, it also explores the art of composition and what it means to feel a deep rooted passion for music. Marc Collin has worked as a composer for many years, so when we met to talk about the film, I asked if he had begun by looking for a vehicle for musical ideas, or if what had driven the creation of the film was his desire to direct for the first time.

“I really wanted to direct. It was really my goal for a long time, actually. I started to learn cinema, then I went into music for a long time.

[Editor’s note: “Le Choc du Futur” is one of more than 100 movies originally scheduled to screen at the SXSW Film Festival in March. After the coronavirus outbreak forced the festival to cancel, event organizers partnered with Amazon Prime to make seven of those features available to stream for free through Weds., May 6.]
Turn on just about any pop radio station at any point over the last quarter century, and chances are good that the vast majority of the sounds you’ll be hearing were created on machines. Yet on film, representations of musicmaking are still largely stuck in a more analog era. Maybe that’s due to a lingering generational bias, or maybe watching a girl strap on a Les Paul or sit down at a piano is just inherently more cinematic than watching her tapping away at an 808. Whatever the case, French musician Marc Collin’s debut feature “Le Choc du Futur...

In his latest podcast/interview, host Stuart Wright talks with writer and director Marc Collin about his debut feature The Shock of the Future, which stars Alma Jodorowsky, Philippe Rebbot and Geoffrey Carey. The film is out now from 606 Distribution.
About 606 Distribution:
Our plan is to distribute films with potential that have been successful at the major film festivals, but have somehow fallen through the gaps, and deserve to be seen by the enthusiastic Arthouse film audience in the UK and Ireland.
