Reel Philosophers: Transcending Humanism

This month, we explore the sociopolitical dimensions of humanism through the lens of an iconic science fiction film, game theory, and decentralised networks.

Step into an evening where philosophy meets art in a convivial cinema club, and conversations linger long after the barman’s last call.
And 'All those moments won't be lost in time, like tears in rain.'

​Inspired by the tradition of Greek symposia, Reel Philosophers nights help participants sharpen their critical thinking through themed screenings and discussions gently guided by professional philosophers.

​Film clubs co-produced by Reputy and Philosophy for All are part of the Human RenAIssance series of interdisciplinary events in Fleet Street Quarter, aiming to connect the business community and develop human intelligence.

​17:30 Doors open
​18:00 Keynote speech by Kai Morris, Macrocosmos
​18:15 Film screening – title to be revealed on the day (find cues in the announcement)
​20:15 Discussion facilitated by philosophers
​21:00 Social at the venue bar.

​The cosy cinema room accommodates a maximum of 40 seated guests (including replicants). Please arrive promptly to ensure your place.

​We aim to keep our events free; however, we kindly invite guests to purchase drinks at the bar throughout the evening as a gesture of thanks to the venue for hosting us.

The evening is co-designed with Macrocosmos – a London-based machine learning and AI startup, building decentralised tools on the Bittensor blockchain. At the core of their work is the belief that AI is too important to be centralised and deserves to be distributed to all.
