Join the London premiere screening of The Creator, a beautiful and surreal film by award-winning British filmmakers AL and AL, which follows Thinking Machines from the future on a mystical odyssey to discover their creator: legendary computer scientist Alan Turing. Decades ago, Turing famously asked, ‘Can machines think?’ and ever since, the notion of computers exceeding human intelligence has transfixed researchers and popular culture alike. Marking the centenary of Turing’s birth, The Creator  screening will be followed by a Q & A with AL and AL who will also show some of their previous films and discuss how their approach to Mythological Portraits has inspired their work from Perpetual Motion in the Land of Milk and Honey (2004) through to Interstellar Stella  (2006) and their collaboration with the composer Philip Glass and quantum physicist Brian Greene on their black hole sci-fi Icarus at the Edge of Time (2010).
