Synopsis

The story of Diva – a fading superstar preparing for a comeback performance at the 2065 'eSports Olympics' – and Geo, an AI with artistic yearnings. Set in a smoke-and-mirrors realm of fantastical architecture, sentient drones and snow-deluged jungles, AIDOL revolves around the long and complex struggle between humanity and Artificial Intelligence. Fame – in all its allure and emptiness – is set against the bigger contradictions of a post-AI world, a world where originality is sometimes no more than an algorithmic trick and where machines have the capacity for love and suffering. Contemporary anxieties and fixations – the rise of AI, the formulaic dictates of celebrity, the hegemony of technological giants – are refracted through a quixotic prism. AIDOL is accompanied by a score composed and orchestrated by the artist.

Synopsis

A story about the power of sex stripped away from morality and judgement. A glimpse into a part of our society that is very rarely represented and a tradition that is as old as our morality. The key question in the movie and even the root of the movie lies in the character Annabelle's line: "There are people who get punched for money, they are called boxers, it’s even a sport. Better I get fu*cked for money." I think sex is far more natural than violence and yet we glorify violence and shun sexual desire. This story is our way of opening that conversation. (Mbeng Ngassa, Nkanya Nkwai)
