The 5th annual Raza Cósmica: A constellation of Latinx sci-fi cinema opens with the Texas premiere of Un futuro brillante (A Bright Future)!

Clever, curious, and young, lucky Elisa has been selected for work placement in the North. While everything she’s heard about the North seems idyllic, the trouble is that the few people who do go there don’t ever come back.

Fresh off its Tribeca premiere where it won the Best Film Award in the Viewpoints competition for its original and inventive voice, Un futuro Brillante (A Bright Future) was praised by the Tribeca jury as “captivating, thought-provoking, fresh and increasingly relevant."
