After Yang
We were delighted to previously screen this film but we have no current plans to screen it again. If you'd like to watch it in the cinema, consider a private hire to watch it with friends. That does rely on the film being available for private purchase.

In a near future, a family reckons with questions of love, connection, and loss after their A.I. helper unexpectedly breaks down.
After Yang moves slowly and quietly and then comes in like a tidal wave, exploring grief and love and memory with aching poignance.
★★★★
At the end, you may feel you’ve just seen a movie that somehow holds elusive answers to some of the bigger questions in life, even though nothing is spelled out too broadly.
★★★★
Check the cynicism for a second, however, and you start to realize that the main question here is not, “What does it mean to be human?” or “Do androids dream of electronic afterlives?” but “Why, exactly, am I crying so hard?”
★★★★★
After Yang is a small-scale but impressive science fiction, concerned with the genre’s most important question: As technology spreads wider and deeper into our lives, what does it mean to be human?
