Meridian by Calum Walter
Berlinale description: Meridian follows the last unit in a fleet of autonomous machines sent to deliver an emergency vaccine. Through a robot’s agnostic eye, the film looks at how human dramas are inscribed onto the inanimate, searching for possible parallels between automation and purgatory, depression and malfunction. The film is inspired by a real event that occurred in Washington, D.C. on 17 July 2017, where an automated security robot from the company Knightscope was found floating in a fountain at the building it patrolled. It had plunged into the water while on a routine patrol, spurring speculation about whether the machine had chosen to end its life or if this was just a glitch in an otherwise reliable new technology. Perhaps more interesting than the fate of the machine was the desire to see its death within a human context. > On Feb 24, 2019, at 19:08, Elena Duque <elenadu...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Samouni Road, by Stefano Savona, deals with an attack over Gaza with a drone > footage recreation (and also with some very powerful animations). > > El sáb., 23 feb. 2019 20:57, Alex Lake <alake.alex.al...@gmail.com> escribió: >> Ross Meckfessel’s The Air of the Earth in Your Lungs has some pretty >> interesting hobby-drone footage in it, def worth checking out. >> >> http://rossmeckfessel.com/Air%20of%20the%20Earth.html >>> On Sat, Feb 23, 2019 at 11:33 AM Robert Harris <lagonab...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> Re: aerial surveillance, etc… >>> Much of Harun Farocki’s work, War at a Distance; Images of the World and >>> the Inscription of War >>> https://www.harunfarocki.de/films.html >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>>> On Feb 23, 2019, at 2:07 PM, Hugo Martin Alexander Ljungbaeck >>>> <ljung...@uwm.edu> wrote: >>>> >>>> Dear all, >>>> >>>> I am currently working on a research project that I am hoping will result >>>> in a curated program and/or essay.
