EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic poster for William Cameron Menzies' groundbreaking film "Things to Come" from 1936. Designed by H. G. Wells and produced by Alexander Korda, this silver-toned masterpiece exudes a futuristic charm that transports us to a world of endless possibilities. The poster's monochromatic palette, dominated by shades of grey, perfectly captures the essence of this visionary science fiction film. Its sleek design is both elegant and minimalist, drawing our attention to the central image: an imposing cityscape bathed in ethereal light. The towering structures seem almost otherworldly, hinting at a society far advanced beyond our own. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of the film's profound themes: progress, technology, and humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge. It serves as a visual representation of H. G. Wells' imaginative vision brought to life on screen—a testament to his genius as both an author and collaborator with Menzies. Beyond its artistic merits, this print holds historical significance as it represents one of British cinema's most influential works. "Things to Come" continues to inspire filmmakers today with its bold storytelling and innovative production design. In preserving this rare glimpse into cinematic history through photography, the British Film Institute allows us access into a time when imagination knew no bounds—when dreams were projected onto silver screens across the globe—and invites us to reflect on how far we have come since then while pondering what lies ahead
