[New-Poetry] Transcendent Man

[Anny Ballardini]

*Transcendent Man*, a documentary on the life and ideas of Ray
Kurzweil, will premiere on April 25 at the prestigious Tribeca Film Festival
in New York City .



See details below for how to get tickets to one of the premiere screenings.



Director Barry Ptolemy traveled to five countries and followed Ray Kurzweil
for two years, documenting Kurzweil's journey to bring the ideas from his
best-selling book *The Singularity is Near* to a world audience.  Ptolemy
expertly explores the social and philosophical implications of the
transformative changes that Kurzweil predicts and their intertwined promise
and peril, in dialogues with world leaders such as Colin Powell;
technologists Hugo de Garis, Peter Diamandis, Kevin Warwick, and Dean Kamen;
journalists Kevin Kelly and Tom Abate; and luminary Stevie Wonder.
Award-winning American composer Philip Glass composed the original theme
music, which mirrors the depth and intensity of the film.
