Park City (United States) (AFP) - An audience member was ejected from a Sundance festival event Tuesday in a spat over artificial intelligence, triggering a walkout that illustrates the divisions the technology has rapidly wrought in the film industry. AI -- a key driver of the recent and devastating Hollywood strikes -- has been debated extensively at this year's indie movie festival in Utah. Filmmakers have experimented with using the technology as a creative tool, while also cautioning about its potential to erase jobs and stifle human expression and connection. At a Tuesday screening of "B...

Park City (United States) (AFP) - Will Ferrell taking a road trip across the United States with his buddy might sound like stock comedy fare, but the "Anchorman" star's latest project is an emotional documentary about gender transition. "Will & Harper," which premiered at the Sundance film festival Monday, follows Ferrell and "Saturday Night Live" writer Harper Steele as they travel through America's heartland, discussing her journey as a trans woman. "We were discussing that, as a trans woman, she might feel differently going to places that she wouldn't have thought twice about as her former ...

Park City (United States) (AFP) - Jesse Eisenberg sold his whip-smart road trip movie to Disney for a reported $10 million Sunday -- as his second film at the Sundance festival, a bizarre scatological tale about Sasquatches, caused audience walkouts. It has been a busy weekend at the Utah-based indie movie fest for the actor, best known for his Oscar-nominated portrayal of Mark Zuckerberg in "The Social Network," but who is increasingly turning his hand to directing. "A Real Pain" is Eisenberg's second feature as director, and the first in which he also stars -- alongside Kieran Culkin, who is...

Park City (United States) (AFP) - Artificial intelligence promises to make death "optional," as the technology learns to perfectly emulate our personalities, memories and dreams, keeping a version of ourselves alive long after our physical bodies have perished. But if rapidly improving AI achieves its lofty goal of digital immortality -- as its advocates believe it can -- will it be a force for good or for evil? "Eternal You" and "Love Machina," two new documentaries that premiered at the Sundance movie festival this weekend, grapple with the question, exploring AI's relationship to death from...

Park City (États-Unis) (AFP) - Récit autobiographique d'un combat contre l'alcoolisme, "The Outrun" a d'abord été un best-seller au Royaume-Uni avant d'être porté à l'écran grâce à la comédienne américano-irlandaise Saoirse Ronan, plusieurs fois nommée aux Oscars, et d'être présenté cette année à Sundance. Dans ce film projeté en avant-première vendredi dans l'influent festival américain du cinéma indépendant, l'actrice de 29 ans incarne Amy Liptrot, journaliste musicale qui quitte sa vie destructrice de Londres pour retrouver la beauté sauvage des îles Orkney, en Écosse, afin de guérir de son...

Park City (United States) (AFP) - Can artificial intelligence feel loneliness, or even love? And what would it think of us after humans have gone? "Love Me," surely the most surreal and original entry at this year's Sundance film festival, stars Kristen Stewart and Steven Yuen as an AI-powered buoy and orbiting satellite who strike up a romance after humanity has wiped itself off the Earth. Apparently the sole two surviving sentient devices, they try to overcome their loneliness by chatting across thousands of miles and over millions of years, forging an unlikely bond. Building up their person...

Park City (United States) (AFP) - Packed full of nail-biting chases, hi-tech gadgets and an armed standoff, "Thelma" could be the next "Mission: Impossible" movie -- except its star, June Squibb, is 94. In the film, Squibb's hero takes matters into her own hands after she is swindled into sending $10,000 to a scammer, racing across Los Angeles on a souped-up mobility scooter with a dusty old gun, determined to confront the villain. Remarkably, the action-comedy, which premiered at the Sundance festival on Thursday, is the first leading film role for the veteran stage actor, who earned an Oscar...

Park City (United States) (AFP) - Movie stars and indie darlings from Pedro Pascal and Kristen Stewart to Richard Linklater and Steven Soderbergh were headed to the mountains of Utah on Thursday for the 40th edition of the Sundance film festival. Co-founded by Robert Redford, and held in sub-zero temperatures at an altitude of 7,000 feet (2,150 meters), Sundance will host premieres for many of the coming year's most anticipated independent films. The festival also showcases dozens of new documentaries, with topics ranging from artificial intelligence and the future of US democracy, to LGBTQ is...

Los Angeles (AFP) - Damien Chazelle's "Whiplash" has been named the greatest movie to ever premiere at Sundance, as the influential US indie movie festival prepares to celebrate its 40th edition this week. The intense drama about a jazz drumming student and his bullying teacher was ranked the best of roughly 4,000 feature films ever presented at the Utah-based fest, which champions new and independent movies from upcoming directors, in a survey released Tuesday. It fended off the likes of Quentin Tarantino's debut movie "Reservoir Dogs," which finished second, and Jordan Peele's "Get Out," ra...

Los Angeles (AFP) - Kristen Stewart is among several Hollywood stars heading to next month's Sundance festival. But artificial intelligence -- the subject of, and technology behind, several new films -- could steal the show. Among the line-up for Utah's influential indie movie fest are a "generative" music film that plays differently on each viewing, two documentaries about loved ones using AI to communicate after death, and an interactive "digital griot" that will teach audiences how to vogue. "One of the things that was striking to see, as we were going through these films and talking about ...
