- **Event Name**: The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 27 Mar, 2026 at 12:00 pm – Fri, 27 Mar, 2026 at 07:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Produced by the Oscar-winning filmmakers behind Everything Everywhere All at Once and Navalny, The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist is a handmade, eye-opening documentary about the most powerful technology humanity has ever created... and what’s at stake if we get it wrong.

Co-directed by filmmakers Charlie Tyrell and Daniel Roher, the documentary is told through Roher’s eyes as a father-to-be on a quest to understand the world his child is about to inherit. As he grapples with the explosive risks and revolutionary potential of AI, Roher turns to the leading voices shaping and challenging the rise of AI. What emerges is an inspiring call to attention: a real-time exploration of forces advancing faster than ever. Through in-depth conversations with the leading voices in AI, audiences will be confronted with a stark wake-up call that explores the existential dangers and extraordinary promise of this rapidly rising technology.

"Visually, the film is a kaleidoscope, a constantly moving stream of archival news clips, colorful sketches drawn by Roher, animation and a parade of experts, photographed with the lights and cameras around them in full view...The pace is a visceral reflection of both AI’s rapid progress and Roher’s jittery state of mind. The film’s first-person approach and dynamic visual style make it more engaging and livelier than you might expect such a well-researched documentary about this serious subject to be."—Caryn James, Hollywood Reporter.
