A Machine to Live In
Yoni Goldstein, Meredith Zielke
Brasilia, Brazil | 2020 | 120 min
Synopsis: A hive-like consciousness scans a space-age metropolis: an unstable landscape of mystical architecture and oneiric technology emerges. From this cosmic dream, the specter of totalitarianism takes form. A Machine to Live In is a sci-fi documentary about the utopian imaginary, set in the Brazilian hinterlands.
Language: Portuguese & Esperanto (With English Subtitles)
Daily Life of Human
Siavash Naghshbandi
Tehran, Iran | 2020 | 3 min
Co-winner of 59th AAFF Juror's Award
Synopsis: The changing definition of human—AI becoming human, humans turning into AI, and capitalism and its role in the development and use of these technologies. Telecommunication technologies as an example of how technology can become part of who we are as humans and the future visual and virtual representations of us.
