The fourth edition of the festival focused on the imaginary boundary of humanity. What are the limits of artificial intelligence and is it possible for a machine to have its own soul?
Film legends, new releases, short film screenings, documentaries, a futuristic bar, lectures and discussions with film critics could not be missed at the festival. Visitors could also enjoy a robot exhibition or an art opening! We would also like to thank our main partners, because without them the festival would not have been possible: JRC, ESA BIC Prague, MANA, Live Companies, MindMaze Prague, Radim Matěj and last but not least Prusa Research. A big thank you also goes to the institutions and cities that financially supported the festival.
