We caught up with British director Marc Isaacs at ZagrebDox, where his latest film, Synthetic Sincerity, opened the programme. Drifting between truth and fabrication, between faces both real and staged, the film unfolds in a “fake” laboratory, where real or fictional scientists feed an AI programme with ever more layers of human facial expression. Ilinca Manolache performs the AI persona. At once serious and playful, the film asks the viewer to remain alert and critically engaged.
