About A Memory For The Future
Also titled The 20 Mile Limit, this is a short film that ran on Showtime between feature film showings. It centers on a dystopian government that has created a new present: the Evolutionary Reconstruction. This government has instated a 20 mile limit in the ocean, past which nobody can travel due to deadly radiation. Claire Lucas and Fred Hunter believe that there is more to the story.
Directed by Paul Hornstein, A Memory For The Future leans on a strong ensemble — Marlene Fisher, John Juback, Jery Hewitt — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about science fiction titles of 1981.
