- The Promise
E25The PromiseA likeness of humans, robots are a reality in the future. The only thing that distinguishes us from them is that we can still control them - but for how long if they have assumed the characteristics that seemed to identify us as human beings? How long? if we exceed by them in physical force. The promise is a short film that looks at the future reality of a world in which those things created by man are a step to be confused with us. - Slaughterbots
E81SlaughterbotsIn a dystopian world a new form of A.I. weaponry has been created. All these drone bots need is a profile: age, sex, fitness, uniform, and ethnicity. Nuclear is obsolete. Take out your entire enemy virtually risk free. Just characterize him, release the swarm, and rest easy. - Orbit
E83OrbitIn this sci-fi retelling of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart," a pair of astronauts work on a small space station orbiting a distant planet. As the mysterious narrator attempts to convince himself of his sanity while describing his brutal act of murder, he becomes haunted by a thunderous heartbeat that could only come from the far reaches of space. - We Were Not Made for this World
E92We Were Not Made for this WorldA robot goes on a quest to find his creator in the desert lands outside his city. Not built for the harsh environment outside his city, a robot takes his chances and braves the barren landscape in a desperate attempt to find his creator. With his knee joints slowly breaking down, it’s only a matter of time before his fate will be decided. - The Long Slow Flight of the Ashbot
E93The Long Slow Flight of the AshbotA small, ash-collecting robot is jettisoned from a spacecraft and witnesses the collapse of the universe over trillions of years as he slowly drifts beyond outer space. Many trillions of years ago, a small maintenance robot was jettisoned into outer space. Now, as it drifts beyond the cosmos and out into the interstellar void, it becomes the only being to witness to the collapse of the known universe. - Frances and Yuri Ring in the New Year
E99Frances and Yuri Ring in the New YearIt turns out that life as we know it is a sophisticated computer simulation. Earth, existence, and consciousness, all the design of a hyper intelligent race of aliens known as the Thesquardorians. On December the 31st, 1974, the Thesquardorians decided the simulation had run its course. This is an absurdist comedy set in a computer lab in the 1970s. Two computer technicians dredging through their graveyard shift on New Year’s Eve stumble upon the final digit of pi which sends their entire existence spiraling out of control as they come to terms with the fact that it was all a sophisticated computer simulation.
