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.

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.
