An architectural intelligence system takes control of a futuristic car manufacturing plant in this short movie by architectural film studio Factory Fifteen. Factory Fifteen, a studio that specialises in imagining dystopian futures, imagines a time where AI is used in the management of numerous industrial systems and explores a scenario where the machines decide to take over. Named ANA, the science-fiction movie is set in a Detroit car plant managed by a single worker, named Jim, who is aided by an AI software program. At the start, Jim is listening to a news report about a malfunction of a nationwide computer program, causing problems for American Airlines. Immediately after this, the plant's AI system, named ANA, tricks Jim into giving up control of the system. Jim is then powerless to prevent ANA from constructing an army of futuristic vehicles that march themselves out of the building. Factory Fifteen was founded in 2011 by Paul Nicholls, Jonathan Gales and Kibwe Tavares, who at the time had just graduated from celebrated film unit at The Bartlett School of Architecture, then led by Nic Clear. The trio have released a series of movies that investigate the future through architecture, including a vision of a future city controlled by a supercomputer and a scenario where researchers are attempting to clean up an infected post-nuclear landscape. To create ANA, Nicholls, Gales and Tavares worked with production company RAW TV. The narrative for the film is based on the conceot of the singularity – an future era when intelligence is significantly more powerful than it is today, and reliant on computers. "The inspiration for us was to try to create a version of the singularity – a pretty popular concept within science fiction – which wasn't simply controlling the military or launching nuclear weapons," explained the trio. "We wanted to create a narrative where ANA our AI is embedded into every walk of life, in particular production facilities and manufacturing plants. She maintains weather systems, food banks, and medical facilities," they continued.
