Emergent Minds

ISF runs a variety of initiatives including the science-film community Habitat, Student film labs, a year round Science Matters pop-up event series, and the scientist-filmmaker competition Symbiosis. ISF partners with science film platform Labocine, which allows audiences beyond our festival cities to view a decade of festival films.ISF celebrates its 14th anniversary with the 14th Annual Imagine Science Film Festival that will take place in mid-October in 2021.

Imagine Science Films

Films on perception and memory, consciousness and identity, and the spaces that lie between mind and circuitry.

Complete information at imaginesciencefilms.org/ny12/emergentEven as we make rapid strides in machine learning and artificial intelligence, even as long-held hopes of robots joining us at work and at home come closer to reality every year, still the human brain we dream of emulating remains elusive. The mind may be the ultimate emergent effect -- so far a mechanical understanding of the brain can only shed so much light on what we experience as thought and self-reflection. But not only higher order mysteries like consciousness and identity retain may secrets, but even the seemingly simpler workings of perception and memory. We have learned much, but much remains unknown and these mysteries only deepen as we continue our attempts to reconstruct the mind in circuitry. These films move between brain and program, neuroscience and computer science, neurons and circuitry, and the complex and fruitful spaces that may lie between.The Redness of Red (Emily Downe | 3 min | UK | 2018)Raymond Tallis - on tickling (Johan Grimonprez | 8 min | Belgium | 2017)Here &amp; Beyond (Colin West | 17 min | USA | 2019)Carlotta&#x27;s Face (Valentin Riedl &amp; Frédéric Schuld | 5 min | Germany | 2018)Dog in the Woods (Christian Chapman &amp; Paul Jason Hoffman | 6 min | USA | 2018)Shrooms (CatK | 3 min | Belgium | 2018)Desire Line (Ruini Shi | 7 min | UK | 2018)CC (Kailey Spear &amp; Sam Spear | 14 min | Canada | 2018)Parallel Play: Visualization and Sonification of Brain Activity in Real Time (Dan Lloyd | 3 min | USA | 2019)]Seoul City Machine (Liam Young | 8 min | UK | 2018)TRT: 74 minThe film program will be followed by a panel discussion with filmmaker and neurophilosopher Dan Lloyd and neuroscientist Sofia Landi, moderated by neuroscientist Siddharth Ramakrishnan.
