Clip from SO UNREAL narrated by DEBBIE HARRY As we enter an age of technological uncertainty it’s interesting to look back at the caustic cinema of the twentieth century and see which of its nightmares and utopias came to pass … BLUs from @alteredinnocence and @diabolikdvd are selling FAST #debbieharry #redpill #ai #matrix #vr

More cities will be exploring the depths of cyber cinema in Amanda Kramer’s SO UNREAL!! Explore the canon of films that dared dream beyond the threshold of the real. Across a 20-year span - 1981 to 2001 - depictions of ‘future shock’ technologies such as artificial intelligence, cyberspace, and virtual reality grew in both frequency and complexity. Cinema in these years provided an outlet for humanity’s intertwined anxieties, fears, and fantasies about the brave new frontiers looming ahead. Narrated by Blondie icon Debbie Harry, SO UNREAL mines the substance and subtext of cyber-minded landmarks like Tron, Videodrome, Brainstorm, Terminator 2, Tetsuo, Lawnmower Man, Hackers, The Matrix, and dozens more. Soundtracked with deep cuts from the electronic underground, and styled with CGI-glitch FX, SO UNREAL maps the subcurrents of euphoria and dystopia simmering in the cinematic subconscious of the end of the 20th century #redpill #ai #videodrome #cyberpunk #lawnmowerman #debbieharry #matrix #tetsuo #neuromancer #brainstorm #vaporwave #neo #sounreal #amandakramer

Brett Leonard (director of The Lawnmower Man, Virtuosity) will be joining our conversation for SO UNREAL with director Amanda Kramer and editor Benjamin Shearn this Friday at the @philosophical_research_society PLUS! An exclusive videomix by the film’s team, Hollywood Entertainment, and Altered Innocence! Amanda Kramer’s SO UNREAL is a cinephile’s visual essay examining a canon of films that dared dream beyond the threshold of the real. Across a 30-year span - 1981 to 2001 - depictions of ‘future shock’ technologies such as artificial intelligence, cyberspace, and virtual reality grew in both frequency and complexity. Cinema in these years provided an outlet for humanity’s intertwined anxieties, fears, and fantasies about the brave new frontiers looming ahead. Narrated by Blondie icon (and Videodrome star) Debbie Harry, SO UNREAL mines the substance and subtext of cyber-minded landmarks like Tron, Videodrome, Brainstorm, Terminator 2, Tetsuo, Lawnmower Man, Hackers, The Matrix, and dozens more. Soundtracked with deep cuts from the electronic underground, and styled with CGI-glitch FX, SO UNREAL maps the subcurrents of euphoria and dystopia simmering in the cinematic subconscious of the end of the 20th century.
