Change is coming. Humanity is entering a turbulent new era, unprecedented in both Earth and human history. To survive the coming centuries and fulfill our potential as a species, we will have to overcome the biggest challenges we have ever faced, from extreme climate change, to rogue AI, to the inevitable death of the Sun itself. The headlines make our chances look bleak. But when you look at our history and our tenacity, it’s clear that humanity is uniquely empowered to rise to the challenges we face. Being optimistic is not only justified, it’s a powerful weapon in the fight for a higher future.

We live in a time when videos or images created by artificial intelligence are indistinguishable from the real thing. In the documentary Another Body, we come across a concept and a serious problem that can, in some cases, ruin your life – using artificial intelligence and the misuse of your identity, it is possible to create perfect pornographic videos, completely without your knowledge (so-called deepfake pornography). This is what happens to a college student who embarks on a harrowing journey into the dark world of deepfake technology to find answers, justice and to cleanse her true identity.

Artificial intelligence, machines that take the place of human labour, the fourth industrial revolution – these are topics that are resonating more and more among leading experts but also among the general public. According to many, artificial intelligence is set to replace and even far surpass humans. Is there an alternative to this revolution, is it inevitable? Will we humans be forgotten? In this documentary, we open the way to thinking about alternative visions, reflecting on our future in a more holistic way, and perhaps ultimately discovering that with the help of modern technology, we will be able to create a better and more meaningful future for all of us.

Star Wars is a worldwide phenomenon that changed everything about Hollywood. And so it is with The Star Wars Holiday Special. Thanks to this documentary, we will understand why Geoge Lucas stays as far away from this piece of sh*t as possible, even if he didn’t make it. This comedy documentary offers a glimpse behind the scenes, with Harrison Ford, Mark Hamil and Carrie Fisher, as well as the comedians and directors who comment on the documentary (Seth Green, Kevin Smith, Weird Al Yankovic and more).

Over four hours of the most in-depth documentary to date Alien Expanded takes you deep behind the scenes of this immortal sci-fi classic.

Even if you think you know everything about Aliens, this documentary will surely prove you wrong.

The director of the film Ian Nathan will be the guest of the Prague screening. Before the film, there will be a longer introduction, only in English.
