Synthetic Sincerity, dir. Marc Isaacs, UK 2026, 72 mins
The Synthetic Sincerity Lab based at the University of Southern England are trying to create authentic AI characters as part of a new research project. The head of the lab Professor SonG, licences the films of Marc Isaacs' to better understand what his AI characters are lacking and, in turn, agrees the Filmmaker can document their working process.
Blending documentary with fiction, Synthetic Sincerity uses humour and innovative narrative techniques to form a reflection on what is happening to the human face in the era of AI and what this might mean for the future of cinema.
The screening on Tuesday 21 July will be preceded by Marc Isaacs short film Lift and followed by a in-person Q&A with Marc Isaacs and writer Adam Ganz, hosted by Stella Bruzzi.
