In the near future where artificial intelligence reigns supreme, human emotions have become a threat.

She is, however, overcome by fear, a premonition that catastrophe is on the way.
Awards: Nominee - Golden Lion (2023 Venice Film Festival)
Programmer's Note: French provocateur Bertrand Bonello’s new film is arguably one of 2023’s most mysterious, alluring and confounding works. One might describe it as an attempt at a David Lynch-meets-The Fountain sci-fi mashup, an unclassifiable film to say the least. An ambitious and continually tempting piece that posits love and fear as the two great counteracting metaphysical forces in life, The Beast explores themes of AI, psychosis and fate, set across time, space, and even genres. Take a leap of faith and mess your mind with this one! (Eternality Tan, Vice-Chair & Programming Director)
