Werner Herzog said “a computer will not create a film as good as mine in 4,500 years”. Director Piotr Winiewicz took this provocation and, with Herzog’s permission, generated an AI screenplay based on Herzog’s works. The result: ‘About a Hero’.
Don’t miss this curious murder mystery-documentary hybrid starring Vicky Krieps and Stephen Fry. The session includes a pre-recorded Q&A with director @winiewicz.
Screening at @acmionline on Saturday 1 March at 6.30pm. Tickets are $14 for AIDC delegates and are available to purchase via the ACMI website or in-person at the ACMI ticket desk.
