Zusammenfassung:The film is a fractured narrative featuring large anthropomorphic robots constructed by Survival Research Laboratories (SRL). Living in their own fictional world devoid of humankind, the machines act out scenarios of perpetual torment, exasperated consumption and tragic recognition. The film is a fast-paced glimpse into the disturbing nightmare of machine psychology. Jon Reiss worked closely with SRL producing documentaries of their performances. The film is an outgrowth of that relationship, representing their collective desire to go beyond the restraints of documentation and to go beyond the traditional utilization of non-human characters in narrative cinema. It is also the first dramatic work to exclusively feature the machines of SRL. [www.jonreiss.com]
