The Harte Center is proud to present a thought-provoking film series titled “Films with Harte.” This series kicks off with two critically acclaimed films that delve into the complexities of artificial intelligence and its interplay with human emotions: Spike Jonze’s “Her” (2013) and Kogonada’s “After Yang” (2021).
“Her” tells the story of a lonely writer who develops an unexpected relationship with an operating system designed to meet his every need. “After Yang” follows a family’s journey when their android, Yang, malfunctions—challenging their understanding of life and love. Both films offer a unique lens on the emotional and ethical implications of AI in our lives.
The screenings are scheduled for January 31st and March 7th at 2:00 PM and 2:30 PM, respectively, in the intimate setting of Stackhouse Theater. These events are not only a chance to watch these compelling films but also an opportunity to engage in rich discussions about the narratives and their moral implications.
Admission to each screening is free and open to all members of the W&L community. Don’t miss this chance to reflect on how AI might shape our emotional futures.
