Artificial intelligence has been a hot topic in Hollywood. Last year, unions representing over 160,000 screenwriters and actors went on strike to demand provisions protecting their works and likenesses from AI. It’s an excellent time to meditate on the intersection of art and technology, and so enter So Unreal, Amanda Kramer‘s new documentary exploring cyberspace in cinema. Narrated by Debbie Harry (of both Blondie and Videodrome fame), the doc looks at science fiction films like The Matrix, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Tron, Hackers, and Electric Dreams to connect our once-imagined fears about technology with our present day, real-life concerns. BFI called it a “film analysis portal akin to Morpheus’s red pill.” We’ll see you on the other side.
