Film Screening: The Matrix

Join us for this year’s World Philosophy Day by celebrating the 25th anniversary of The Matrix.

We’re hosting a free screening at Top Kino (Rahlgasse 1, 1060 Wien), followed by a discussion on the movie’s many pressing philosophical questions. Moderation by Camilo Martinez and Phyllis Pearson.

Synopsis: Have you ever had a dream that you were so sure was real? What if you couldn't awaken? How would you know the difference between dream and reality? When a beautiful stranger (Carrie Ann Moss) leads computer hacker Neo (Keanu Reeves) to a forbidding underworld, he discovers the shocking truth—the life he knows is the elaborate deception of an evil cyber-intelligence. Neo joins legendary and dangerous rebel warrior Morpheus (Lawrence Fishburne) in the battle to destroy the illusion enslaving humanity.

This screening is sponsored by the Knowledge in Crisis project, which has received support from the Austrian Science Fund (10.55776/COE3).
