The Fantasia International Film Festival is welcoming back acclaimed director Miguel Llansó for the world premiere of his latest feature, Infinite Summer. This highly anticipated film will make its debut on July 27th, 2024.

Produced by Llansó alongside longtime collaborators Rain Rannu and Tõnu Hiielaid of Tallifornia and new American partners Allison Rose Carter and Jon Read of Savage Rose Films (known for Everything Everywhere All At Once and Zola), Infinite Summer is set to be a cinematic highlight of the year. The film features a stellar cast, including Hannah Gross (Joker, Mindhunter), Johanna Rosin, Teele Kaljuvee-O’Brock, and Ciaron Davies as Dr. Mindfulness.

Synopsis: On a summer break, Mia and her friends try a meditation app that delivers a mind-bending experience. Police investigation reveals darker forces behind it. When one of the girls ends up in a hospital and the other one escapes, Mia is grappling with the choice to save them or join them.

Infinite Summer delves into profound philosophical questions, exploring humanity’s future in the context of our increasing attachment to technology and transformative chemistry. Llansó reflects on the film’s themes: “Millions of years ago, hominids were doing similar things that we do today: fighting, being jealous, loving, insulting each other, and laughing a lot. But what would be the future of humankind after an increasing attachment of our bodies to technological devices or transforming chemistry? Would it make sense to still talk about human desires, dreams, and ambitions attached to this body?”

He continues, “How would we perceive individuality after the dissolution of our body’s boundaries, or its merging with technologies or other organic forms? From a philosophical perspective, Infinite Summer revolves around these reflections on upcoming technologies as applied to our bodies. These transhumanist narratives are indelibly linked to the stories of the film.”

Infinite Summer will make its debut on July 27th, 2024.
