Sci-Fi Short Film “The Girl And The Robot” | DUST

 

🪐 You are entering a fictional zone: reality has been suspended.

In a futuristic world where robots are considered a threat and must be destroyed, Kira, a robot hunter, encounters an unusual robot that behaves not like a machine, but like a living being.

🎬 Director’s Statement:
We are used to separating the artificial, man-made world and the natural world as two separate worlds. But is this really the case?

To blur the line between the artificial and the real, we resorted to a combination of CGI and live action.

This is how the robot from the film came to be: it is covered in moss, its limbs have turned into trees, and flowers have bloomed from its metal body. Despite being a purely human creation, it has become an integral part of nature, from which we so carefully try to isolate ourselves.

Why Do We Cry Out When We’re In Pain?

Have you stubbed your toe and shouted an unrepeatable word? Isaac Newton and Robert Boyle were two of the greatest minds in humanity. Did their egos and competition with one another hold them back or drive them onto huge breakthroughs?

Professor Hannah Fry and Michael Stevens explore the bizarre neurology of vocalised pain, revealing how a good yelp actually acts as a biological off-switch for suffering.

Plus, Hannah gives us a behind-the-scenes look at her brand-new series exploring the cutting edge of Artificial Intelligence.
