SUMMARY:The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist
DESCRIPTION:From the Academy Award®-winning filmmakers behind Everything Everywhere All at Once and Navalny comes a timely\, thought-provoking look at the rapidly changing world of artificial intelligence. \nAs AI transforms the way we work\, communicate\, create\, and understand the world\, one father-to-be sets out to answer a big question: What exactly is happening with all this AI insanity? \nThe AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist follows his personal journey into one of the most powerful technologies humanity has ever created. Along the way\, he speaks with leading thinkers\, innovators\, and experts. He explores the incredible possibilities AI could unlock. At the same time\, he confronts the risks that come with moving too fast. \nCan AI help solve some of humanity’s greatest challenges? Or are we building something we may struggle to control? And what kind of future are we creating for the next generation? \nHand-made\, curious\, and eye-opening\, The AI Doc makes a complicated topic feel personal and accessible. It cuts through the hype and fear to explore what AI can really do\, where it may be headed\, and why the choices we make now matter. \nThoughtful\, funny\, and deeply human\, the film invites audiences to look beyond simple optimism or doom. Instead\, it asks us to consider what’s at stake if we get AI right—and what could happen if we get it wrong. \nFor resources and ways to join the apocaloptimist community\, please visit theaidocgetinvolved.com. \n\nDIRECTED BY Daniel Roher and Charlie Tyrell\nPRODUCED BY Daniel Kwan and Jonathan Wang\, Shane Boris\, Diane Becker\, Ted Tremper\n\nWe are especially grateful to the Sheffield Foundation for sponsoring this screening.

SUMMARY:Newcomers of Lake Forest & Lake Bluff Present: No Country for Mothers
DESCRIPTION:No Country for Mothers\nNo Country for Mothers explores the culture surrounding American motherhood and why both the ‘girl boss” and “trad wife” labels ultimately distract us from the real issue: the lack of support for American families. \nFollowing activist Reshma Saujani\, the film charts a growing national movement to reunite moms across divisions and win the kind of historic support families actually need. \nThe evening includes time to mingle beforehand with snacks and beverages\, the film itself\, and a conversation afterward for questions and reflection. \nSponsored by Golan Christie Taglia and BARTESIAN \nMoms First\nMoms First is a movement fighting for paid leave and affordable\, accessible child care. We educate\, innovate\, and advocate for the social and political policies that moms need and deserve. Our vision is a country that values motherhood and works in support of moms and families. \nNewcomers’ Club of Lake Bluff and Lake Forest\nThe Newcomers’ Club of Lake Bluff and Lake Forest is an all-volunteer social organization founded in the 1950’s to promote friendship among new residents and to help them become active members of the community. Today’s Newcomers’ Club has over 225 members and a wide variety of ongoing activities – something for everyone! \n
