8/10
New Commons!
20 April 2018
'Glossary of Broken Dreams' is a colorful and imaginative film about the problems of the 21st century, but addressing them through the lens of old ideas (aka ideologies). An alternative tag line could be: "We can only shape the future if we understand the past."

The film openly promotes the idea of New Commons. This relates to network-based cooperation and localized bottom-up initiatives that often work outside of dominant markets and traditional state programs. Another world can be born out of the understanding and fostering of these notions.

The reality of a globalized world where migration, climate change, technology, capital have long surpassed any national borders is already here. We need to start getting realistic about this and seriously explore new answers. This film gives an in-depths analysis of the status quo and possible blueprint for solutions. Plus puppets. Win win.
