HamptonsFilm’s “Now Showing” series continues this week with Magnolia Pictures’ “A Glitch in the Matrix,” directed by Rodney Ascher.
According to the film’s synopsis, “What if we are living in a simulation, and the world as we know it is not real? To tackle this mind-bending idea, acclaimed documentary filmmaker Rodney Asher uses a noted speech from Philip K. Dick to dive down the rabbit hole of science, philosophy, and conspiracy theory. Leaving no stone unturned in exploring the unprovable, the film uses contemporary cultural touchstones like “The Matrix,” interviews with real people shrouded in digital avatars, and a wide array of voices, expert, and amateur alike. If simulation theory is not science fiction but fact, and life is a video game being played by some unknowable entity, then who are we, really?”
The film can be purchased and watched privately in the HamptonsFilm Virtual Screening Room via HamptonsFilm Now Showing. The film will be available February 12 to 18.
