About a Hero - Paradise Theatre

September 15 · 4 PMFree admission—no tickets required. Followed by a post-screening Q&A. After a local factory worker dies under mysterious circumstances, Werner Herzog travels to the fictional town of Getunkirchenburg to investigate. But Herzog is not who he seems, and the film is not what we expect. Directed by Piotr Winiewicz, ABOUT A HERO is adapted from a screenplay written by an AI trained on Herzog’s body of work—with Herzog’s blessing. Documentary interviews about artificial intelligence collide with a bizarre murder mystery dreamed up by an early language model in this singular cinematic oddity, featuring Vicky Krieps and Stephen Fry. “A compellingly weird trip into the digital deepfake Twilight Zone.” —The Film Verdict “Lingers in your consciousness long after it’s finished.” —Filmmagasinet Ekko
