The Twitch-curated Attack The Bloc series of Cold War era science fiction films from the Eastern Bloc continues at the Tiff Bell Lightbox tonight at 9:15 with a screening of Marek Piestrak's Test Pilot Pirxa.Corporate interests want to replace human space crews with lifelike robots ("finite non-linears"), arguing that it will be cheaper and safer than sending humans into space. But steely Commander Pirx (Sergei Desnitsky) is having none of it: he knows this isn't about safety or cost effectiveness, but rather about lining the pockets of big business.

Test Pilota Pyrxa (Pilot Pyrx's Inquest, 1979), based on a story by Stanislaw Lem (Solaris), is a Polish sci-fi movie that anticipates the anxiety of Blade Runner: the paranoid fantasy of non-humans passing among us unrecognized, a fantasy edging towards reality. It seems the paranoids have been beta-testing our new nightmares for us.
"Uncanny Valley"—that revulsion felt in response to things which look human but aren't, still has to be overcome before we get there, and the Turing Test, which a computer has to pass by holding up its end of a conversation without giving away its mechanical origins, still seems some way off, as witness this brilliant conversation between two chatbots (one of them inexplicably angry). Marek Piestrak's film, like Ridley Scott's, takes place in a future where these problems have been overcome, leaving us with bigger ones.
That future: a world of manned interplanetary flights and perfect humanoid robots,...
