Experiencing Interruptions?

C0ntact

A lonely researcher who lives only for her work tries to reconstruct human emotions in a machine. The outcome of the experiment brings change not only to the subject of the experiment. Can the machine succeed because, in our loneliness, perhaps deep down in our souls, we want it to replace human relationships as a companion?

Director Biography - Peter Szalkai

I learned filmmaking in a self-taught way, through practical experience, and I acquired graphic design, printing, and programming skills as "ancillary requirements" related to filmmaking.

I think pragmatically, always trying to take a step back and see the "big picture," viewing the task at hand as an effective part of it. I believe that a person fundamentally needs the skill to adapt to a changing environment, to be able to respond well to it, and to always find "themselves" in it so that they can be useful. This requires openness, interest, curiosity, that is, the urge to keep learning throughout our lives.
