ACFNY SUPPORTED | “UI – SOON WE WILL ALL BE ONE” AT THE TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL
The independent short film, ‘UI – Soon we will all be One’, will premiere at the world-renowned NYC Tribeca Film Festival 2018. Directed by Johannes Mücke & Patrick Sturm, it is a visually impressive science-fiction short film from Austria that explores the question ‘When an artificial super-intelligence outgrows its human creators, what will happen to mankind?’ Shot in early 2017, ‘UI – Soon we will all be One’ tells the story of the futuristic ranger Kira who discovers an otherworldly monolith amid the deep snow of a near-future arctic environment. The architecturally bizarre interpretation of a technological singularity and its interaction with Kira, the only character on screen, aims to create a hypothesis of what the future in a world controlled by artificial intelligence could hold for us. Executive Producer, Christine Ajayi, will be present at all of the Tribeca screenings.
