A stunning sensory experience and cinematic meditation on humanity's massive reengineering of the planet, Anthropocene: The Human Epoch is a years-in-the-making feature documentary from the award-winning team behind Manufactured Landscapes (2006) and Watermark (2013). The film, narrated by Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina), follows the research of an international body of scientists, the Anthropocene Working Group who, after nearly 10 years of research, argue that the Holocene Epoch gave way to the Anthropocene Epoch in the mid-twentieth century as a result of profound and lasting human changes to the Earth. - From concrete seawalls in China that now cover 60% of the mainland coast, to the devastated Great Barrier Reef in Australia and massive marble quarries in Carrara, the filmmakers have traversed the globe using state of the art camera techniques to document the evidence and experience of human planetary domination. At the intersection of art and science, Anthropocene: The Human Epoch witnesses a critical moment in geological history - bringing a provocative and unforgettable experience of our species's breadth and impact.

Ex Machina, de Alex Garland O cinema clássico de ficção-científica costumava estender o seu olhar para o futuro, profetizando a execução de tarefas básicas do cotidiano por robôs. Agora, vivemos em um cenário em que a existência de máquinas inteligentes entre humanos é uma realidade. Vem assim o gênero para compreender o perigo de ter aquilo que nos caracteriza sendo perfeitamente emulado em algo integrado por circuitos e baterias. A criatura evoluindo sobre o criador. Leva um tempo para essa abordagem ser sacada em “Ex-Machina: Instinto Artificial”, mas ela existe. Com 26 anos de idade, o introvertido Caleb (Domhnall Gleeson) é programador em uma companhia de serviços virtuais. Ao participar de uma competição interna, recebe um convite para se hospedar durante alguns dias em uma pousada secreta habitada pelo CEO Nathan (Oscar Isaac). De comportamento suspeito (muito devido ao desempenho exagerado de Isaac), Nathan apresenta a Caleb um projeto experimental que desenvolveu em um longo período de isolamento. Trata-se de Ava (Alicia Vikander), a primeira inteligência artificial do mundo, integrada a um modelo feminino constituído por peças cromadas e látex. Surge uma relação secreta entre Ava e Caleb, que se intensifica quando Nathan afirma que a descartará em busca de aprimoramentos. Roteirista de “Não Me Abandone Jamais” e “Dredd”, Alex Garland faz uma estreia promissora na direção ao estabelecer um jogo de aparências. A arrogância de Nathan e a ingenuidade de Caleb soam como faixadas para nos desviarem de suas verdadeiras motivações, enquanto Ava é vista à espreita, como se estivesse somando repertório ao seu “instinto artificial”. Uma pena que as surpresas que prepara para essas deduções derrapem em uma conclusão com descuidos (há um furo de roteiro indefensável) que rivalizam com as boas ideias lançadas no prólogo.
