  • Overview

    How can we probe the far reaches of the Cosmos to decode the mystery of our origins? In Grenoble, the capital of the French Alps, or from the peaks of Mauna Kea (Hawaii), Cerro Paranal, and much higher still, a team of researchers led by Jérôme Bouvier probes the far reaches of the Cosmos to decode the mystery of our origins. The distant and different "worlds" glimpsed thanks to the most powerful ground-based and space-based telescopes are a source of beauty and emotion, as well as new challenges. At the crossroads of genres, both a visual essay and a documentary, the film KUMULIPO, directed by Gérard Kosicki, also offers a poetic journey rooted in the constant advancement of our knowledge. 13.8 billion years have passed since the emergence of spacetime. Today, we glimpse what we do not yet know…

The prototype [TEST TYPE • 154] is a highly sophisticated artificial intelligence, which is capable of autonomously acquiring notions from its surroundings and - eventually - developing autonomy of thought. Given the nearly human nature of its learning capabilities, the laboratory that programmed it hires a kindergarten teacher, asking him to instruct the machine as if it were a newborn child. The learning process - which spans 7 days - becomes increasingly insidious in the long run, posing a peculiar yet crucial problem: can there be a form of autonomous thinking that excludes emotions?

In the first decades of the 20th century, when life was being transformed by scientific innovations, researchers made a thrilling new claim: they could tell whether someone was lying by using a machine. Popularly known as the “lie detector,” the device transformed police work, seized headlines and was extolled in movies, TV and comics as an infallible crime-fighting tool. Husbands and wives tested each other’s fidelity. Corporations routinely tested employees’ honesty and government workers were tested for loyalty and “morals.” But the promise of the polygraph turned dark, and the lie detector too often became an apparatus of fear and intimidation. Written and directed by Rob Rapley and executive produced by Cameo George, The Lie Detector is a tale of good intentions, twisted morals and unintended consequences.
