The screening on Thursday the 16th of July was followed by a Q&A with director Marc Isaacs and writer Adam Ganz. Hosted by academic Mandy Merck.
Marc Isaacs returns with a curious interrogation of the new world of AI authenticity, in a humorous hybrid that plays with form and with expectations.
The Synthetic Sincerity Lab based at the University of Southern England are trying to create authentic AI characters as part of a new research project. The lab wish to license Marc Isaacs’ films in order to study the real people he has captured, helping the to create more realistic AIs. In return, they will let the filmmaker document their working process.
So Synthetic Sincerity leads us down the rabbit hole into a winding world of documentary, fiction, reality and synthetic creation, reflecting on what is happening to the human face in the era of AI, and what this might mean for the future of cinema.
