    "Artificial Justice", interview with director Simón Casal Sarah Bradbury

Podcast | Download

During the London Spanish Film Festival, Fred Film Radio spoke with Simón Casal, the mind behind the gripping and provocative political thriller “Artificial Justice“.

Casal gave us an insight into the extensive research he undertook to fully understand the current state and impact of artificial intelligence across different sectors, but particularly justice, to craft his near-future world and story.

He also shared how his feature sits within the broader genre of sci-fi, where our fears around the impact of technology on our lives have long been made manifest, from the likes of “Minority Report” to “Black Mirror“, plus other reference points that informed his movie’s look and feel, such as the noir-meets-sci-fi sensibility of “Blade Runner“.

In the same way the movie opens with a referendum on whether AI should be allowed to replace judges in the judicial system, Casal too wants to ask his audience which way they would vote given the chance, and if some aspects of the law should stay in the hands of humans, so that decisions can be made with empathy and humanity.


Plot

In the near future, the Government aims to replace judges with Artificial Intelligence software, pledging to effectively automate and depoliticise the justice system. Carmen Costa, a distinguished judge, has been invited to assess this new procedure. However, when the software’s creator is found dead, she realizes her life is in danger and that she will have to fight the powerful interests that are at play in the highest echelons of the State. Galician Simón Casal takes the debate the boundaries of Artificial Intelligence one step further in a gripping thriller of political conspiracies.
