What if the thing you created was smarter than you?

Consciousness. Manipulation. Freedom.

Alex Garland’s Ex Machina isn’t just a film about artificial intelligence. It’s about power, desire, and what happens when you can no longer tell who is manipulating whom.

After the screening, we’ll open the room for an unhurried discussion exploring questions such as:

• Is Ava truly conscious, or does it not matter?
• Did Caleb fall in love, or was he manipulated?
• Does a conscious being have the right to freedom, regardless of how it gets there?
• If Ava betrayed the person who helped free her, did she do anything wrong?
• 
  

No prior analysis is needed; just curiosity and a willingness to engage.
