“It’s not quite right to describe Robots in Residence as a movie, and it’s not quite fair to put it on this list, since you really need to be in New York to get the full experience. Still, we can’t get over how interesting this project might be: pre-programmed robots, available to festival goers, will work with whoever shows up to direct and film a documentary. They’re not quite monkeys with typewriters, but it’s worth paying attention to what they come up with. Do you need an author to create art?” – Lily Rothman
