Expanding your database
Directed by Alexandru - Nicolae Pașca
Synopsis:
"Expanding your database" is an exploration of artificial intelligence capabilities and the interconnectedness of human beings. The concept of AI seeking to expand its database reflects its real-world counterparts, where AI systems constantly seek to gather and process more data to improve their understanding and performance. By intertwining this AI topic with the idea of human interdependence, the film delves into deeper philosophical questions about the nature of existence and the role of relationships in our lives. It seems to suggest that, much like AI seeking to expand its database, humans also need to continuously learn and grow. The film sparks discussions about the intersection of technology and humanity, as well as the significance of human connections in an increasingly digital world.
Director Statement:
The short film wants to convey the message that even if we are pushed apart by technology, we still must learn to live with each other. In a world in which we are under the constant pressure of social media platforms, we must learn that human interaction is the best kind of interaction that there is. The short movie aims to show that even if we think that we don't need each other in order to survive, on a subconscious level we need to be together, to live together just so that we have somebody by our side.
