The Living Room: COLOSSUS — AI, Control & the Human Question - After Hours

$15 in advance / $20 at the door The Living Room: A TV of Tomorrow Salon is an intimate evening of film, science fiction, artificial intelligence, technology and conversation—exploring how popular culture imagined AI long before it became part of everyday life. Featuring a screening of the prophetic AI classic Colossus: The Forbin Project, the evening also unearths obscure and hard-to-find clips from films, television, games and online media that eerily foreshadow our AI-driven present. Sometimes hopeful, sometimes cautionary, these visions keep returning to the same essential question: Where do humans fit in? Have something to show us? We’re inviting creators to submit short videos (under 5 minutes) exploring AI, technology, science fiction, television, or our changing relationship with machines. Selected shorts may be screened during the evening. Experimental, narrative, animated, AI-generated and just plain strange are all welcome. To submit: [email protected] And then there’s the living room itself. The Ocean Room is one of those wonderfully off-the-radar San Francisco spaces you probably didn’t know was there—an eclectic, quirky two-story space filled with unusual furniture, chandeliers and unexpected objects, with a stage, big screen and full sound system. It’s less like going to a theater than stumbling into a very strange and very large living room—which makes it just about perfect for The Living Room. Food and drinks will be available for purchase. The Living Room is a TV of Tomorrow Salon. Learn more about the TVOT SF 2026 • December 2–3, 2026 tvotshow.com
