Independent filmmaker Sophie Barthes joins us to discuss her breakout Sundance hit — and winner of this year’s Dolby Institute Fellowship Award — The Pod Generation. The film is a hilariously biting near-future sci-fi satire, starring Emilia Clark and Chiwetel Ejiofor as a young couple who turn to a corporate tech giant to help them carry their new baby — literally — to term. “Living in America has triggered this passion for exploring the commodification of everything… The fact that we don't see human beings as an ‘end’ by themself, but as a ‘means.’ A means of consumption. A means of generating more money. I don't know why, but it really interests me. Like how capitalism has reduced human beings to just ‘function,’ instead of ‘being.’” —Sophie Barthes, Writer and Director, “The Pod Generation” The Pod Generation is currently in theaters, in Dolby Atmos®, where available: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15768848/reference/ Please subscribe to The Dolby Institute Podcast wherever you get your podcasts: https://linktr.ee/dolbyinstitute To learn more, visit: https://www.dolby.com/institute/ Connect with Dolby:  Visit the Dolby WEBSITE: https://www.dolby.com  Like Dolby on FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/Dolby/  Follow Dolby on TWITTER: https://twitter.com/Dolby  Follow Dolby on INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/dolbylabs/  Follow Dolby on LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/company/dolby-laboratories #ThePodGeneration #SophieBarthes #IndependentFilmmaking #Sundance #SundanceFilmFestival #DolbyInstitutePodcast #DolbyInstituteFellowshipAward #SciFi #Satire #EmiliaClarke #ChiwetelEjiofor #FilmDiscussion #MoviePodcast #Dolby #DolbyVision #DolbyAtmos #InCinemasNow #FilmIndustry #Filmmaking
