Several Futures is an independent film distributor with a focus on auteurist and anti-imperialist work. The label was founded in 2022 by filmmaker and programmer Graham L. Carter in the hopes of bringing films to North America that might otherwise not be released. “My loyalty is always with the oppressed.” - Heiny Srour.
Ombres de soie traces the relationship between two Chinese women in Shanghai in 1935.
“An astounding low-budget achievement (in which 1970s Paris passes for 1930s Shanghai), this entrancing film evokes the Marguerite Duras of India Song, which is no accident: Stephen explicitly wished for Ombres de soie to be a counterpoint to India Song, from an Asian woman’s point of view. “ – New York Film Festival
