This film is an essayistic allegory, a biography of Lemohang Jeremiah Mosese: an ode to cinema, internal nod to his mother.
ANCESTRAL VISIONS OF THE FUTURE is a deeply personal work from filmmaker Lemohang Jeremiah Mosese. With fragmented narratives and mythical images, he crafts a haunting reflection on dislocation and belonging. Enter: the Puppeteer, a man who tends herbs that extend people's lifespans to grant humanity time for redemption. And the Market Seller, a mother who keeps the language of dreams alive in a city that has forgotten how to speak it. The film also explores Mosese's childhood and his relentless dance to evade death and wrest meaning from loss. From the dusty gravel roads where he played with toy wire cars as a seven-year-old to the dispassionate streets of exile where he dissolved into anonymity, Mosese confronts the moments that shattered and shaped him. His memories intertwine with the presence of his mother, a figure of vigilance and defiance. But Ancestral Visions of the Future is more than the story of one man's exile - it is also an elegy for a city and a people caught between the weight of memory and the inevitability of loss. And it is a poetic ode to cinema.
