“One of the most original and satisfying movies in ages.”
Film Comment

“Pleasurably cryptic and idiosyncratic.”
Little White Lies

“Evokes the ambition and anxiety around artificial intelligence.”
Artforum

Made in Austin and set deep in the subculture of 1980s computer nerds, a tournament to create the best code unfolds over the course of one strange weekend. The 3/28 screening will feature a post-film discussion and demonstration of the state of the art in Artificial Intelligence and the 4/2 screening will feature a 10th anniversary Q&A with director Andrew Bujalski and select cast members.
