Vertical Pool Productions presents the world premiere of BLUE FIRE (2023; 91 min. USA) by Antero Alli. Special benefit for the Clinton Street Theater. Post-screening Q&A with filmmaker and actors.

Sam, an elite A.I. coder faces a collision between the algorithms of the VR worlds he’s creating and the archetypal dimensions of the Collective Unconscious. Seeking the solace of a quiet life, he rents a rural farmhouse from a Professor of Psychology who lives next door with a student he mentors on her dreams. When an alluring dancing entity visits Sam’s dreams, he falls in love with the phantom. Powerful new emotions disrupt his pristine logical mind pushing his A.I.-coding into warp-speed as he re-figures the future of society as he wants it. What could go wrong?
