So Unreal is an essay film that explores the world of cyberspace cinema both historically and philosophically.
So Unreal is a psychedelic trip through cinematic time, space, and memory, using fluorescent visuals and an impressive montage to examine the rising fear of technology at the end of the millennium. Under the soft tones of Debbie Harry (lead singer of Blondie), take Morpheus's red pill and transport yourself to the nostalgic times of The Matrix, Terminator 2, and Existenz.
From the Murf/Murw festival theme 'The Ship Of Theseus,' we reflect on the possibilities of a digital reproduction of our society and how it has been portrayed in cinema over the past decades. This film will encourage you to think about the future of artificial intelligence. But most importantly, it will inspire you to revisit some cyberpunk classics from the '80s and '90s.
