Rematch

Cinema

„Rematch“ ran 2024 in the festival cinema program.

This 1997 debate is still cited today when it comes to the history of artificial intelligence and its possibilities: shortly before the turn of the millennium, IBM sent the Deep Blue supercomputer into a chess match against the greatest player the world had ever seen: Garry Kasparov. After losing 4:2 to the machine in 1996, the eponymous "rematch" took place around a year later, which has all the makings of a serial psychological thriller - and was recently awarded the Grand Prize at the Seriesmania series festival. Condensed into two singular opponents, the battle for the future of us all is anticipated here. Together with the question of who is ultimately superior, human or artificial intelligence. Spoiler: Not everyone will like the answer.
