Trying to imagine different versions of her mother, Salom\u00e9 finds out that all of them lead to depression and uneasiness in a context where it seems easier to conceive the end of the world than the end of capitalism.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBy using Artificial Intelligence, she experiences in first person how difficult it is to conceive another version of the world, the one where her mother could find some kind of meaning.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe directors said, \u201cOur age has glorified technological utopia, and the latest version of this promise is artificial intelligence. Yet, like earlier technological novelties, the shine of progress is discreetly stained by ambition, exploitation and misery.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThey added, \u201cSeen from the perspective of peripheral countries condemned to the dark side of development and turned into an impoverished labor force, A.I. exposes its shadiest aspects.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationobserver.com\/?p=6203\">Steve Buscemi, Tramell Tillman, Katy O\u2019Brian, Nicholas Braun Among Cast of \u2018Murderbot\u2019 Season 2<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cOur film seeks to show how the achievements of civilization are also triumphs of barbarism \u2013 a barbarism that is currently the rule under contemporary capitalism, or neoliberalism, a system of generalized physical and emotional exhaustion. In these conditions, depression has become the most common disease, not merely as a psychiatric phenomenon but as a social response to current material, economic and political realities.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cThis project is an initiative to politicize mental illness. When it seems impossible to conceive a better world, sadness becomes the most usual form of adaptation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tMarcella Jelic and Lorena Morin from Screen Split said, \u201cBibiana\u2019s and Juan\u2019s work caught our attention very quickly. It builds a remarkably complex narrative, using minimal resources for it. Not only in an original, but catchy and at times haunting way, they seamlessly connect an intimate family trauma with the broader colonial history of Latin America. It is a film which undeniably leaves one reflecting on the current state of us as a society.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cThe End of Times\u201d is produced by Luis Esguerra Cifuentes (Bruma Cine, Colombia), co-produced by Bibiana Rojas G\u00f3mez (A Fuego Lento, Colombia) and Juan David C\u00e1rdenas Maldonado (Allegro Films, Colombia).
