IDFA 2024-opening film About a Hero is a detective-mystery that confronts you with AI’s potential: ‘But where is this film going?’
Amsterdam - Piotr Winiewicz’s About a Hero opens this year’s International Documentary Filmfestival Amsterdam (IDFA). The film, a fictional narrative with documentary-style interviews, blends together AI with renowned filmmaker Werner Herzog and delves into the existential implications of technology. As Stephen Fry warns in the film's epilogue: “Even if we are not destroyed by AI, we will be humiliated by it.”
