GHOST IN THE MACHINE is not a film about machines. It is a film about power.
The film is a gripping and urgently relevant investigative documentary that exposes the buried history of artificial intelligence, not as a neutral system of algorithms, but as a technology shaped by racism, misogyny, eugenics, and entrenched structures of power long before it entered everyday life. Rejecting the notion of AI as inevitable or objective, the film traces how myths of progress and efficiency have obscured deeper political and cultural agendas, revealing the ideological foundations beneath the systems now reshaping modern society.
GHOST IN THE MACHINE interrogates who builds AI, who benefits from it, and who bears the cost.
Doors at 6.30pm for 7pm screening
The film is 95 minutes
& then Q&A with the director, who will be joining us virtually
