FILM

“Excuse me, please, my body is not built yet…” we read once in Maria Arlamovsky’s documentary. The sentence is being typed into the computer by a human on behalf of an incomplete robot. Robolove visits the production sites of humanoid robots, elucidates their application fields as a sex toy or domestic caretaker, and interviews experts like the robotics guru Hiroshi Ishiguro or the transhumanist Natasha Vita-More— but also monks, philosophers, and sex workers about the fascination of the machine.

After the screening the director is present for Q&A.

Direction: Maria Arlamovsky
