The Audio-Visual Rendez-Vous Technocalyps

As part of the continuing programme "Audiovisual Rendez-Vous", the EBU is
pleased to invite you to the screening of Technocalyps, a documentary by
Michel Bauwens and Frank Theys.

Technocalyps shows in a direct, fascinating and lively manner, the deep
technological and social mutations at work in our society.

This film is the result of about forty interviews and reports carried out in
laboratories, research centres and with key figures from all over the world.
Technocalyps shows that the recent developments in biotechnology, robotics
and nanotechnology give us a new power over life and matter and asks to what
extent these discoveries imply a redefinition of mankind. The debate remains
open.

Tachnocalyps will be shown in English during three screenings with guidance
/ explanations by the author:

19 September 2001
Part 1: Science
The "cognitive shock" of the new technlogies

25 September 2001
Part 2: Political and Social Reactions
"How does Society react?"

9 October 2001
Part 3: Philsosopy and Spirituality
"Why does Humanity take this direction?"
The floor is given to philosophers, religious and spiritual figures

Each screening is preceded at 18.30 by a cocktail followed by a commented
screening of 1 hour 30.


The Audiovisual Rendez-Vous, sponsored by the EBU, aims to show the best and
most recent fiction and cinema productions produced by European public
service broadcasters represented in Brussels. Technocalypse is welcomed
within this programmae because of the richness and high quality of its
contribution to the present debate on society in the technological age.
