Screen Door and Second Screen Cult Cinema get together to chat about Alex Garland's EX_MACHINA on the eve of CIVIL WAR's run at Screen DoorAlex Garland, writer of 28 Days Later and Sunshine, and director of the new CIVIL WAR makes his directorial debut with the stylish and cerebral thriller, Ex Machina . Caleb Smith (Domhnall Gleeson), a programmer at an internet-search giant, wins a competition to spend a week at the private mountain estate of the company's brilliant and reclusive CEO, Nathan Bateman (Oscar Isaac). Upon his arrival, Caleb learns that Nathan has chosen him to be the human component in a Turing Test—charging him with evaluating the capabilities, and ultimately the consciousness, of Nathan’s latest experiment in artificial intelligence. That experiment is Ava (Alicia Vikander), a breathtaking A.I. whose emotional intelligence proves more sophisticated––and more deceptive––than the two men could have imagined. Academy Award Winner, Best Visual Effects
