SCIENCE:CINEMA
Are you passionate about science, tech, climate, and nature? Then look forward to three days at CPH:DOX dedicated to Science.
This year, our SCIENCE:CINEMA moves into Stærekassen at The Royal Danish Theatre for three days of films, debates – and croquis! We dedicate the first day of the scene, March 19th, to this year’s theme Body Politics, when we invite you to Gin & Croquis, where we will draw bodies in all shapes while drinking gin made from crooked cucumbers. Simon Toftgaard Jespersen, chairperson of the Muscular Dystrophy Foundation, is the host and will be joined by Rane Willerslev, Anders Morgenthaler, and Christine Feldthaus.
Later the same evening, we show ‘Can’t Feel Nothing’ and discuss the internet’s theft of attention in the company of, among others, Le Gammeltoft from Netcompany, and author Camilla Mehlsen. After the debate, everyone is invited to drinks in the beautiful foyer of Stærekassen.
For the next two days at SCIENCE:CINEMA, you can look forward to films about magical mud with Minik Rosing, panel debate about the life of researchers with, among others, evolutionary biologist Eske Willerslev, doctor Bente Klarlund, as well as debates about the low-tech revolution and the fight against the throw-away culture, and the possibility of recreating our deceased family members through artificial intelligence.

The solution to the climate crisis is already here if you ask the growing low tech movement, who insist that with simple means and great ingenuity, it is possible to live a modern life without destroying the planet.

+ Debate: Death brought to life with AI - 'Black Mirror' or reality
After the screening, tech journalist Marie Høst will host a live edition of the podcast Blinde Vinkler (presented together with IDA and IT-Branchen). Among others, curator Majken Overgaard, who is currently planning the exhibition 'Against All Odds - Historic Women and New Algorithms' at SMK on AI together with a curatorial team, will participate in a conversation about all the digital changes that are changing our everyday lives and culture - including when AI services offer to keep us artificially alive through data. Presented in collaboration with IDA, IT-Branchen and Netcompany.
Language: Danish
Can modern technology realise the dream of eternal life? Yes, say the sci-fi optimists in Silicon Valley, who are determined to make death obsolete through artificial intelligence in a film that soberly and thoughtfully raises the biggest questions - and provides possible answers.
