TECHNOCALYPS
A documentary feature by Frank Theys
10 May (Premiere) 12 & 13 Antwerpen, 26 & 27 Brussels
‘Technocalyps’ is an intriguing three-part documentary on the notion
of transhumanism by Belgian visual artist and filmmaker Frank Theys.
The
latest findings in genetics, robotics, artificial intelligence, bionics
and nanotechnology appear in the media every day, but with no analysis
of their common aim: that of exceeding human limitations. Frank Theys
conducts his enquiry into the scientific, ethical and
metaphysical dimensions of technological development. The film
includes interviews by top experts and thinkers on the subject
worldwide, including Marvin Minsky, Terence McKenna, Hans Moravec,
Bruce
Sterling, Robert Anton Wilson, Richard Seed, Margareth Wertheim,
Kirkpatrick Sale, Ralph C. Merkle, Mark Pesce, Ray Kurzweil, Lama
Karta, Rabbi Youssouf Kazen, Rael and many more.
3x50 minutes in English with subtitles NL/FR
