One of the first recorded images of a giraffe appeared in the drawings of the ancient Egyptians, who named it ‘sr’. In the 1990s, veterinarian Motke Levinson purchased four giraffes on behalf of two zoos. Upon their arrival in the same container to a port in the Red Sea, they were divided. Two were sent to an Israeli zoo while the others were sent to a Palestinian zoo. Living outside their natural habitat, their survival became an uphill battle at the zoos, and within years, they perished. This is just one of many stories that director Lea Harlaub ponders on. From the wall paintings of ancient Egyptians to exotic animal exports and modern-day safari tourism, this essay film takes us on a hypnotic journey to weave together the history of this majestic animal with the history of humanity.

TRANSCENDENT MAN chronicles the life and ideas of Ray Kurzweil, an inventor and futurist that presents his bold vision of the Singularity, a point in the near future when technology will be changing so rapidly, that we will have to enhance ourselves with artificial intelligence to keep up. Ray predicts this will be the dawning of a new civilization in which we will no longer be dependent on our physical bodies, we will be trillions of times more intelligent and there will be no clear distinction between human and machine, real reality and virtual reality. Human aging and illness will be reversed; world hunger and poverty will be solved and we will ultimately cure death. Critics accuse Ray of being too optimistic and argue that the dangers of the Singularity far outweigh the benefits, pointing out the apocalyptic implications that once machines achieve consciousness, we may not be able to control them... 　　Technology will accelerate exponentially. Within 25 years, computers will have consciousness. Humans will soon be bionic. These predictions make bestselling author Ray Kurzweil (The Singularity Is Near) a prophetic genius to some, and a "highly sophisticated crackpot" to others. There is no question, however, that he has predicted the future with more accuracy than anyone else in history... 　　Transcendent Man gets inside the mind of the award-winning scientist and A.I. specialist through extensive interviews with Kurzweil himself and revealing conversations with friends and colleagues. The film outlines Kurzweil's theory of singularity-the point when change occurs so rapidly that humans will need to merge with technology to keep up-while also chronicling Kurzweil's history, his myriad accomplishments (including 24 U.S. patents), and his unique vision of the future...

【影片简介】 　　撩起帷幔 　　透过这隐秘的庸常 　　望到正在消逝的熙攘 　　记起了 互为彼此的延伸 　　这邂逅如此短暂 　　犹如翻转镜片中的倒影 　　稍一停顿 　　皆成记忆 　　时光穿越生命中的不同空间——居所内外的世界、北方与南方……影片尝试以个人的方式，反刍对时间和生命的感悟，踏上一次记忆的旅途。 　　【作者阐述】 　　表达和交流可以在作品中尽兴地完成，多好啊。 　　曾以为自己是那个套上铁链舞蹈的人，因为选择了纪录片。如今，在这同样宽广的领域里旅行，不只为边境的探索或穿越。种种欣喜与领悟，因他人而丰厚了。 　　【作者简历】 　　沙青：1965年生于北京，纪录电影作者。2001年拍摄第一部纪录片。现居于云南。 　　【作品年表】 　　在一起的时光（2001） 　　消逝的倒影（2011）
