The annual SITGES FILM FESTIVAL is only a few short weeks away, and you bet we’re pumped for it here at AITH. It will begin on October 6th and run through to the 16th.
This years theme for the festival is ‘artificial intelligence’ and wouldn’t you know it – it is the 10 Year Anniversary of Steven Spielberg’s A.I., a criminally under rated flick in my book.
To celebrate the official commercial for 2011 pays tribute to the theme, and we have it for you to check out below, along with a snippet from the press release.
As announced at the presentation of the SITGES 2011 posters, artificial intelligence is this year’s central theme, represented through the geminoids created by professor Ishiguro in Japan. For the commercials, Rafa Antón stated that he’d “continued with the same commemorative leitmotif of the tenth anniversary of Artificial Intelligence (Steven Spielberg), with a piece set in the perfect minimalism of the robotics world, where two identical characters are shown leaving the spectator wondering which is the robot and which is the human”. Alex Rodríguez is the director of ‘Alter Ego’, produced by Sopa de Toro.
Excited? We’ll be sure to bring you all the news and reviews from the Festival next month.
