Artificial

Anchored by brilliant lead performances by Andrew Garfield and Yura Borisov, Luca Guadagnino’s thrilling, funny, and very human drama propels audiences through two decades of machine learning research that has brought us to our current AI crisis point.

Join us on opening night at Luna Outdoor, Thursday 21 January from 7.00pm to celebrate Luca Guadagnino’s AI-thrilling drama with music by Roemount DJ, themed drinks purchased from the bar and complimentary Siena's pizza on entry (all while stocks last) before the sesssion starts at 8.00pm

In 2003, Soviet-born computer scientist Ilya Sutskever (Yura Borisov) began studyin1 artificial neural networks under University of Toronto professor Geoffrey “Godfather of AI” Hinton (Mark Rylance). A decade later, while employed by Google, Sutskever fatefully crosses paths with a young entrepreneur named Sam Altman (Andrew Garfield), the eventual co-founder and CEO of OpenAI. Among our boldest auteurs, Guadagnino (Call Me by Your Name) takes his biggest swing yet for this headlong plunge into our doomsday moment, with a script by Simon Rich that probes the increasing gray areas between human and machine, truth and lie. Anchored by brilliant, fully inhabited lead performances by Garfield and Borisov; a remarkable supporting cast, including Rylance, Monica Barbaro, Cooper Hoffman, Ike Barinholtz, Jason Schwartzman, and Chris O’Dowd; and original songs and score by Damon Albarn, Guadagnino’s film moves like a machine in unstoppable, constant motion—a history being written as we’re watching it.

Screening at Luna Leederville from January 21 + Luna Outdoor from Jan 21 to 27
