## Sunrise With Sea Monsters
## Sunrise With Sea Monsters
Sunrise With Sea Monsters charts the absurdly prophetic journey of a humble hard drive from the domestic shelter of the desktop and out into the perilous romance of the British landscape to explore speculative ideas on memory, data, humanism and futurity. The film features conversations between the filmmaker and pioneering technologists who are developing emerging data storage technologies for the long-term preservation of human knowledge, and radical thinkers who are questioning the nature of reality, data, and the future of humanity. Animated by these voices, the hard drive traverses a vast cinematic landscape to ask the who, how, when and why we will be remembered in the future and by whom?
