Mika Taanila's new film FUTURO - A NEW STANCE FOR TOMORROW turns the
history of this forgotten milestone in Finnish design into a story
full of international colour and drama. It traces the development of
Suuronen's "purely mathematical idea" into a multipurpose commodity
which is eventually destroyed by time. Director Mika Taanila and Marko
Home did extensive research to trace Futuro's story step by step.
Unique amateur film and other archive footage highlight the enthusiasm
and ardour that followed Futuro around the world.

one of my fav bands, Circle side project called Ektroverde did the
soundtrack to the film

some cool pics, too
