The film deconstructs the promises of the 1980s "computer revolution" by placing humans, rather than machines, at the center of the narrative. Service sector workers—secretaries, telephone operators, cashiers, and postal employees—find themselves confronted with the arrival of new technologies that reshape their workplace. With lucidity, humor, and emotion, they share their experiences of these...
Notes from Eremocene
Subscription access
Taking place in a future that does not yet exist, _Notes From Eremocene_ questions the ideal techno-optimistic model that lies ahead of us. From a curious, playful and critical standpoint, filmmaker Viera Čákanyová explores the potential of blockchain technology and artificial intelligence in dealing with complex global problems we humans create – climate change and the crisis of representative...
Human, Not Human
Otto spends night and day blurring faces on Google Streetview for a cent each. It's the kind of work he and his friends around the world can find on the Amazon Mechanical Turk, the crowdworking platform. Alongside his turker friends, Otto sinks into a robotic world that raise the question of humanity.
FREM
As the climate crisis becomes increasingly urgent, and artificial intelligence expands exponentially, _FREM_ presents a striking and sometimes uncomfortable reaction to the current wave of post-humanist, anthropocentric thinking. A unique and wildly experimental documentary, Viera Čákanyová’s film provides a haunting and futurist portrayal of one of the most beautiful yet extreme landscapes on ...
Year of the Robot
At the crossroads of art and science, this film centers on human beings and robots as their artificial counterparts. Like a series of archival documents detailing the first contacts and exchanges between human beings and a robot, the film studies cognitive dissonance, a minuscule, mysterious relational space lying between them both.
A.rtificial I.mmortality
If you were able to create an immortal version of yourself, would you? This film explores the latest advancements in AI, robotics, and biotech with visionaries who argue for a new age of post-biological life. As scientists point us toward a world where humans and machines merge, we have to ask ourselves will AI be the best or the last thing we ever do?
Instructions for Robots
Made at the International Film School in Cuba (EICTV) at the start of the rainy season. A tender re-examination of bodies from the first generation of Artificial Intelligence robots programmed with a full range of emotions. Electronic revolt and resistance. Secret messages encoded within robot diary fragments offer possible futures for post-human societies.
AlphaGo
The intelligent robot DeepMind did not appear to be a worthy opponent for the world champion of the game of Go, Lee Sedol. From Bordeaux to Seoul, this film looks back at the tournament between them and asks what artificial intelligence can reveal about a 3,000-year-old game... and humanity.
