Andrew Bujalski / 2013 / USA / 92 minutes / Certificate 15

An artificially intelligent comedy by Andrew Bujalski (Funny Ha Ha, Mutual Appreciation) about computer chess programmers set some decades ago - when the contest between technology and the human spirit seemed more up for grabs. We get to know the eccentric geniuses possessed of the vision to teach a metal box to defeat man, literally, at his own game, laying the groundwork for artificial intelligence as we know it and will come to know it in the future.
