Crimes of the Future is a 1970 Canadian science fiction film written, shot, edited and directed by David Cronenberg.[1] Like Cronenberg's previous feature, Stereo, Crimes of the Future was shot silent with a commentary added afterwards, spoken by the character Adrian Tripod (Ronald Mlodzik).

Although the film shares its title with Cronenberg's 2022 film of the same name, the latter is not a remake as the story and concept are unrelated,[2] however there is a loose connection between the two films, as the main premise of the 2022 film, "creative cancer" also appears in the 1970 version.
