Saturday, March 23rd
Special event in aid of Variety and Wonderfest, a screening of Robot and Frank.
Followed by a discussion and Q&A session with special guest, noted robotics expert, UC Berkeley EECS professor Ken Goldberg, describing the current state of robotics and artificial intelligence.
Robot and Frank charmed and challenged moviegoers with the story of a robot that befriends an aging cat burglar, played by Frank Langella. Set in the near future, an ex-jewel thief receives a gift from his son: a robot butler programmed to look after him. Soon, the two companions try their luck together…as a heist team! With James Marsden, Susan Sarandon, & Liv Tyler. (Rated PG: 89 mins.)
Will a robot — someday soon — be your friend?
