INTERFILM 41: Reality Bites

In the organizer's words:

Reality stretches, twists and is often stranger than any invention. Reality Bites examines that field of tension between fact and fiction: a caiman lives for decades like a human roommate, Tito's parrot documents a dictator's history, a woman probes striking parallels between a Google language model and her own mind and Venezuelan firefighters encounter a donkey, with unexpected consequences. A couple explores their own desires in tender, uncanny moments. Life, memory and fantasy collide – what's real and what is staged? Reality really is often odder than fiction, and fiction so believable that perceived reality often seems to count.
