Talk: | Saturday 14.10 |
The highly original director Viera Čákanyová from Bratislava will participate in a conversation after the screening and share insights into her truly extraordinary process of creating this film, which premiered at the Berlinale earlier this year.
Notes from Eremocene explores themes of techno-optimism, blockchain technology, artificial intelligence, climate change, and the challenges within representative democracy. It does so through a combination of diaristic film footage and 3D scanner images, creating a poetic and critical narrative about the interplay between analogue and digital elements in humanity's possible future. The concept of a fictional conversation with a future virtual clone adds an intriguing layer to the film, allowing for a personal and introspective exploration of the potential impacts of technology on human existence. By addressing both the positive aspects and unexpected downsides of technological advancements, the film offers a balanced and nuanced perspective on the complex relationship between humans and technology.
