Synthetic Sincerity

In the past year AI has vastly changed the economics of the UK and is a great debate within the creative industries. The Synthetic Sincerity Lab based at the University of Southern England are attempting to crack the code of human authenticity and create AI characters as part of a new research project. The head of the lab Professor SonG licences the films of Marc Isaacs to better understand what his AI characters are lacking and, in turn, agrees the filmmaker can document their working process. Blending documentary with fiction, this is a playful and witty film using humour and innovative narrative techniques to form a reflection on what is happening to the human face in the era of AI and what this might mean for the future of cinema.

Due to the conditions of our licence, we're unable to allow under 18s in the building after 10.30pm. Please check the finish time of any film, performance, or class before booking. See our Families page for more information ahead of your visit.
