Or How I Became an ApocaloptimistThis event occurred as part of the 25/26 Hop Film season. This is an archived view.
A father-to-be grapples with the explosive risks and revolutionary potential of AI in this documentary about technology, discovery and a movement to shape the future.
A·poc·a·lop·ti·mist (noun): a person who believes that even though we are currently racing towards the worst possible outcome, there's still a chance we can get our sh*t together.
Academy Award-winning filmmaker Daniel Roher (Navalny) approaches this personal, visually inventive documentary as a father-to-be trying to figure out what is happening with all this AI insanity. Produced by Daniel Kwan (Everything Everywhere All at Once), co-directed by genius animator Charlie Tyrell and premiering at Sundance, this eye-opening film brings together the leading voices shaping and challenging the rise of AI. What emerges is an inspiring call to attention: a real-time exploration of the existential dangers and extraordinary promise of this rapidly rising technology.
D: Daniel Roher and Charlie Tyrell, US, 2026, 1h43m
