“El congreso”, d’Ari Folman

The need for money leads an actress to sign a contract under which a film studio will make a digital copy of her and use it as if it were hers. Years later, when she decides to return to the stage, she is invited to a congress taking place on a planet that has changed completely. Based on a novel by Stanisław Lem, the film portrays a world inexorably heading towards unreality, where human disciplines such as cinema can see their current conditions altered by the emergence of artificial intelligence. Best animated film at the European Film Awards and Critics' Prize at the Sitges Festival. This event is part of CinemaCràter, a film cycle that proposes a critical view of artificial intelligence and other major revolutions that have transformed humanity, exploring their impacts, challenges and dilemmas through eight films.
