It’s 2025 and the machines are after us! It’s also 1927 and the machines are after us. And 1968, 1980, and 2014. Cinema for decades has explored the tension between man and machine, and that’s at the forefront of the Film Forum’s A.I. FROM METROPOLIS TO EX MACHINA … or, How the Movies Have Been Warning Us for Nearly 100 Years film series. Running from January 3 to the 23 at New York's Film Forum (209 W Houston Street) with an onslaught of over 30 films of mechanized menaces from the classic (Fritz Lang’s Metropolis), the kitschy (The Stepford Wives), and the sensual (Ex Machina).

Films being shown include:

• Alien
• 2001: A Space Oddyssey 
• Alphaville
• The Matrix
• Her
• Westworld
• Moon
• Silent Running
• Ghost in the Shell (1995)
• Videodrome
• THX 1138
• The Iron Giant 

And many more.
