Her, 2013, directed by Spike Jonze with Joaquin Phoenix and Scarlett Johansson
Massimo Temporelli will be moderating the debate after the screening
accompanied by Luisella Giani and Rocco Tanica
STEP is presenting a special evening dedicated to the film “Her”, directed by visionary Spike Jonze, with the participation of special guests and moderated by Massimo Temporelli.
The film, a masterpiece of modern cinematography, tells the story of Theodore Twombly, played by Joaquin Phoenix, a lonely man who develops an emotional relationship with Samantha, an intelligent operating system with the voice of Scarlett Johansson. Samantha's voice in the Italian version is that of actress Micaela Ramazzotti, which adds an extra layer of depth and realism to the character.
During the gathering, the audience will have the opportunity to explore the themes addressed in the film, such as the concept of artificial intelligence and its impact on society and the increasing interaction between humans and digital assistants. But the role and importance of voice and dubbing in cinema will also be discussed, as well as the relationship between man and machine.
Led by Massimo Temporelli, guests Rocco Tanica, a well-known musician and author, and Luisella Giani, a scholar of artificial intelligence, will offer their valuable perspectives and analyses. The discussion will focus on the technological and scientific implications in the film, highlighting how “Her” deals with current affairs and news.
The evening will end with an debate, during which the audience is invited to participate with questions and reflections.
For those who wish to explore the topics covered in the film a little further, a podcast by Massimo Temporelli will be available that will extend the discussion beyond the event.
