The contrast works well, as it gives it A Glitch in the Matrix the feel of a classic science fiction film.Īs the digital avatars and those in human form discuss their experience and theories on whether we are living in a simulation world that maybe controlled by outside forces, their debate is emphasised by footage from films like The Matrix or The Truman Show, which predicted the reality TV phenomena in 1998, and movies that foretell a dystopia world, Logan’s Run, Blade Runner and such like.Īs the interesting discussion unfolds, Ascher introduces the moment the concept of the simulation reality was announced to the world in the 20th Century. Even prior to lockdown, interviews via platforms like Skype, Microsoft Teams, ZOOM, etc, have become the norm, with buffering included.Īscher spices this new form of communication up by making some of the interviewees look like digital avatars, whilst some of the other subjects appear in their 3D human form.

But in the Matrix universe this is not actually a spiritual encounter but in fact a technical problem, a glitch.Ī Glitch in the Matrix is a lively and bright film, that moves rapidly like a video game, with a mixture of classic film footage, Google Earth, computer animation, and video conference interviews. The title A Glitch in the Matrix, comes from the film, in reference to Déjà vu, ‘a feeling of having already experienced the present situation’. The story of Neo (Keanu Reeves), a computer programmer in a future dystopian society, where civilisation is not thriving in a natural environment but instead is suffering in a virtual reality. This has been a topic of discussion since 1999 due to the popularity and huge success of the Wachowskis’ The Matrix trilogy. Dinerstein (Silicon Cowboys, 1922) ask the question, whether we are part of a game simulation? known as simulation theory.

‘Visions of Terror’, a young woman has a horrifying and supernatural experience with a collection of recently discovered VHS Tapes.Īscher’s films, fiction or non – fiction, indicate that he has a taste for the macabre, an interest in pop culture, a curiosity for the extraordinary, as well as the meaning of life, as A Glitch in the Matrix certainly falls into this category.Īscher and Producer, Ross M. Any band with attitude would love to be denounced by their own government.Īlong with documentaries, Ascher has made a number of short films, mainly of the horror genre, ‘Haunted, Horrifying Sounds from Beyond the Grave’, a film set in the 1970s, where a musician is asked to make a Halloween sound effect album. Sleep paralysis in ‘Nightmare’ and rock music, with a study of Eldon ‘El Duce’ Hoke, and the shock metal band he fronted in the 90s, The Mentors who performed in Black executioners’ hats and with offensive lyrics that they became the subject of discussion in the US Senate.
