Proposal, for an Unmade Film (Set in the Future)
This film seems assembled from pre-production footage for a low-budget sf-film/architectural documentary, developed this far, abandoned, and only later discovered again. The suggested narrative is that of a visitor attempting to create a paradise on earth in which volcanic bubbles become time capsules and buildings become space ships.
