Screening of Psyche

Psyche is a cerebral, character-driven exploration of the complicated relationship between humanity and artificial intelligence. At its core lies a timeless question: What is the meaning of life? Mara (Sarah Ritter) wakes alone in a dreamlike, post-apocalyptic limbo – an existential void that may be a near-death experience or a simulation. Her only companion is a vintage computer, guiding her through a series of choices between good and evil in a distorted version of the game of life. Together, they navigate a surreal landscape of cryptic clues and symbolic puzzles, each one peeling back layers of Mara’s fractured identity. Psyche becomes a haunting meditation on human connection and the search for meaning in an era increasingly shaped by technology. Rather than framing artificial intelligence as the end of humanity, the film presents it as a mirror—reflecting who we truly are, and what we’re ultimately searching for.
