Computer Chess

An artificially intelligent comedy by Andrew Bujalski (Funny Ha Ha, Mutual Appreciation, Beeswax) and Winner of the Sloan Feature Film Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. Set over the course of a weekend tournament for chess software programmers thirty-some years ago, COMPUTER CHESS transports viewers to a nostalgic moment when the contest between technology and the human spirit seemed a little more up for grabs. We get to know the eccentric geniuses possessed of the vision to teach a metal box to defeat man, literally, at his own game, laying the groundwork for artificial intelligence as we know it.
