Making of Cyberpunk: A Virtual Production Experience

The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures’ Academy Museum has a fantastic looking exhibit on the history of cyberpunk in cinema. Go check it out if you’re in Los Angeles! It’s running now through April 2026. More details on the Academy Museum’s website:

The Academy Museum’s exhibition features production materials, costumes, props, and concept art from iconic cyberpunk films including Blade Runner (USA, 1982), Tron (USA, 1982), and eXistenZ (Canada, 1999). It also spotlights international films like Sleep Dealer (Mexico/USA, 2008) and foundational animated features such as Ghost in the Shell (Japan, 1995). At the exhibition’s core, an immersive installation explores themes and visual motifs of cyberpunk and futurist films. With a voice-over scripted by writer-director Alex Rivera, the installation illustrates cyberpunk’s 20th-century origins and the new, global directions it has taken in the 21st century as it has expanded into genres like Afrofuturism (Neptune Frost, Rwanda/USA, 2021), Latinxfuturism (Alita: Battle Angel, USA, 2019), and Indigenous Futurism (Night Raiders, Canada/New Zealand, 2021).
