In Silico

United States | 2020 | Noah Hutton

In his new nonfiction work, Lapsis filmmaker Noah Hutton documents an ambitious, ten-year project in which a brilliant neuroscientist, Henry Markram, aspires to replicate the brain via supercomputers. But this unprecedented, costly undertaking with its big philosophical, ethical, and scientific questions is soon sabotaged by equally big egos. “A bold and insightful film, a film that has the courage to change course of its basic hopes and beliefs…I have never seen anything like this.” –Werner Herzog. Cleveland premiere. 83 min.
