About the film:
Through the lens of legendary filmmaker Werner Herzog, Theater of Thought takes audiences on a provocative journey into the study of the mind and consciousness, daring us to question whether we truly have autonomy over our thoughts, or if our brains will inevitably become infused with mind-controlling technology in the not so distant future. Gathering insight and predictions from some of the world’s most influential scientists and innovators, Theater of Thought is an exploration of the ethical, and existential, effects that neurotechnology presents in our rapidly advancing world.
About the filmmaker:
Born in New York City, Frank Henenlotter is a writer and director raised on low-budget grindhouse films. Best known for offbeat plots, lowbrow humor and excessive gore in exploitation films like his debut feature Basket Case, Brain Damage, Frankenhooker, and Bad Biology, Henenlotter was perfectly situated to begin filming a series of documentaries on the art of the genre, including Herschell Gordon Lewis – The Godfather of Gore, That’s Sexploitation!, and Boiled Angels: The Trial of Mike Diana, a chronicle of the first American artist to be convicted of obscenity which screened in competition at the 2019 Cleveland International Film Festival.
