Continuing their screenings of notable films, the Annapolis Film Society and the Annapolis Film Festival will be bringing The Pod Generation to the Bowen Theater at Maryland Hall on Tuesday, May 16th. Tickets are available now!
A New York couple, Rachel (Emilia Clarke) and Alvy (Chiwetel Ejiofor) live in a not-so-distant future where technology provides ever-more convenient living. A rising tech company executive, Rachel lands a coveted spot at the Womb Center, which offers couples a convenient (and shareable) maternity by way of detachable artificial wombs, or pods. But Alvy, a botanist with an affection for nature, prefers a natural pregnancy. And yet, as Rachel’s AI therapist puts it, why is that “natural”? So begins the tech-paved path to parenthood.
The Pod Generation was the Alfred P. Sloan Feature Film Prize winner at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival.
The film will have viewers talking after the film ends and raises some important conversations to be had regarding parenting and how technology has somehow fit into it.
