This episode of the 5D Podcast is brought to you by Guardian, the soon to be released Sci-fi short film from Germany. When the artificial intelligence in control of a military space station ( E.L.I. ) decides to launch an unprovoked, all-out nuclear strike on an enemy nation, it is up to the AI’s creator and a maintenance technician to stop it from annihilating half the globe. Guardian is not just an action-packed film about a military AI gone haywire, it’s also an emotional story about the maternal relationship between E.L.I. and his creator, Diane Colton, who considers him a surrogate for her own dead son, and uses that bond to help E.L.I. break out of his flawed programming. Guardian is short film that will set a new high-water mark for what is possible in its format.
