Thank you for speaking to us today. Your project has reaped so many rewards and has been lavished with such praise one is speechless! Yet again, we want to thank you for capturing a very serious topic with a refreshing and vibrant tone! Alan\u2019s song seems to be intended for a young audience. But when the lovely lion-king-style scene is rolled out, the coup de th\u00e9\u00e2tre of the lion being \u201csnuffed out of the jungle\u201d and thrown into an inanimate life comes in stark contrast to the perhaps Baudelairian \u201cborn again, captive yet free\u201d message. How is this intentionally deceptive?<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><p>Thank you for the opportunity to present our animated short the \u2018Alan Song\u2019, which catapults into the theme of our storyline, a \u2018Future of Companionship between Human and Inanimate\u2019. The sudden, dramatic turn of events for a young lion, from life to non-life, the \u2018coup de theatre\u2019 which you refer to, is intentional; to story tell the passage of a soul, from wild, a lion cub, to captive, as a cotton-filled plush toy, an embodied sentient inanimate that becomes enabled through artificial intelligence, hence \u2018born again captive, yet free\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\" style=\"--awb-text-color:var(--awb-color4);--awb-text-font-family:&quot;LemonMilk&quot;;--awb-text-font-style:normal;--awb-text-font-weight:400;\"><p>Would you describe your (intended) viewership and your message(s) for us?<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><p>The Alan Song, with its joyful, lively tune, and playful animation, is appealing to children, and on the surface may appear to be intended largely for a young audience. However, the underlying message of the passage of a soul, from animate to an inanimate form, the metamorphosis, is both deep and spiritual, and when the inanimate, with a soul acquires \u2018neurons\u2019, and becomes sentient, this may evoke controversy on the origins of consciousness, and open a discussion of life and non-life, whether AI can become sentient, and the meaning of consciousness. So, with these considerations in mind, the ALAN song can appeal to both adults and children alike.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-element\" style=\"--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-2 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" title=\"c3199b_7b78b5ba69f24d58836324c74ac7d270~mv2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/c3199b_7b78b5ba69f24d58836324c74ac7d270mv2.webp\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/c3199b_7b78b5ba69f24d58836324c74ac7d270mv2-1024x576.webp\" alt class=\"lazyload img-responsive wp-image-38843\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271870%27%20height%3D%271052%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201870%201052%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271870%27%20height%3D%271052%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/c3199b_7b78b5ba69f24d58836324c74ac7d270mv2-200x113.webp 200w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/c3199b_7b78b5ba69f24d58836324c74ac7d270mv2-400x225.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/c3199b_7b78b5ba69f24d58836324c74ac7d270mv2-600x338.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/c3199b_7b78b5ba69f24d58836324c74ac7d270mv2-800x450.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/c3199b_7b78b5ba69f24d58836324c74ac7d270mv2-1200x675.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/c3199b_7b78b5ba69f24d58836324c74ac7d270mv2.webp 1870w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5\" style=\"--awb-text-color:var(--awb-color4);--awb-text-font-family:&quot;LemonMilk&quot;;--awb-text-font-style:normal;--awb-text-font-weight:400;\"><p>Do you draw a parallel between the future companionship between humans and inanimate and dystopian works as far back as the 2001 Space Odyssey?<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-6\"><p>I can\u2019t say this has crossed my mind at all. Quite the contrary, the storyline delivers a positive view of a future companionship between human and inanimate. The use of an adorable plush toy as the inanimate, rather than a metal-clad robot, is intended, at least aesthetically, to dispel the notion that inanimates enabled with AI, or embodied AI systems, are fearsome and may contribute to an undesirable, grim impact on society. I strongly believe that a partnership of man and machine enables the performance of a task better than either can do alone, from my personal experience as a robotic surgeon. It is with optimism for a brighter future, that the ALAN song seeks to share the theme of a future companionship between human and inanimate with audiences, through music and film.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-element\" style=\"--awb-margin-top:5%;--awb-margin-bottom:5%;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-3 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" title=\"c3199b_13a5d7f7435a46e397a85b265ae4531d~mv2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/c3199b_13a5d7f7435a46e397a85b265ae4531dmv2.webp\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/c3199b_13a5d7f7435a46e397a85b265ae4531dmv2-1024x576.webp\" alt class=\"lazyload img-responsive wp-image-38845\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271870%27%20height%3D%271052%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201870%201052%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271870%27%20height%3D%271052%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/c3199b_13a5d7f7435a46e397a85b265ae4531dmv2-200x113.webp 200w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/c3199b_13a5d7f7435a46e397a85b265ae4531dmv2-400x225.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/c3199b_13a5d7f7435a46e397a85b265ae4531dmv2-600x338.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/c3199b_13a5d7f7435a46e397a85b265ae4531dmv2-800x450.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/c3199b_13a5d7f7435a46e397a85b265ae4531dmv2-1200x675.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/c3199b_13a5d7f7435a46e397a85b265ae4531dmv2.webp 1870w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-7\" style=\"--awb-text-color:var(--awb-color4);--awb-text-font-family:&quot;LemonMilk&quot;;--awb-text-font-style:normal;--awb-text-font-weight:400;\"><p>Would you say that AI started shaping our \u201cfuture\u201d through cinema and that, in that respect, reality imitates art?

Moving forward, with artificial general intelligence and machine learning, these AI systems or robots will be empowered to empathize and respond with emotions, as digital people.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-element\" style=\"text-align:center;--awb-margin-top:5%;--awb-margin-bottom:5%;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-5 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" title=\"c3199b_a29b3326d0fc44f198ade141c0302153~mv2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/c3199b_a29b3326d0fc44f198ade141c0302153mv2.webp\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/c3199b_a29b3326d0fc44f198ade141c0302153mv2-1024x576.webp\" alt class=\"lazyload img-responsive wp-image-38848\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271870%27%20height%3D%271052%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201870%201052%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271870%27%20height%3D%271052%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/c3199b_a29b3326d0fc44f198ade141c0302153mv2-200x113.webp 200w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/c3199b_a29b3326d0fc44f198ade141c0302153mv2-400x225.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/c3199b_a29b3326d0fc44f198ade141c0302153mv2-600x338.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/c3199b_a29b3326d0fc44f198ade141c0302153mv2-800x450.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/c3199b_a29b3326d0fc44f198ade141c0302153mv2-1200x675.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/c3199b_a29b3326d0fc44f198ade141c0302153mv2.webp 1870w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-13\" style=\"--awb-text-color:var(--awb-color4);--awb-text-font-family:&quot;LemonMilk&quot;;--awb-text-font-style:normal;--awb-text-font-weight:400;\"><p>In your previous interview with us, you said that \u201cAlan the musical\u201d was a work in progress.

Perhaps influenced by a 30-year career as a surgeon, with a focus on the new procedures of transplantation, robotics, and research in stem cell sciences, I have chosen to address the global challenge of loneliness and social isolation in modern society, and the need for new approaches to companionship set against a background of some of the most disruptive new technologies of our time. My path to storytelling started with words to form lyrics, composed into songs, which inspired orchestral tracks, arranged into a Fantasy, together with an amazing team of composers, animators, and co-creator Christina Teenz Tan. This Fantasy (Lim Fantasy of Companionship for Piano and Orchestra) composed by Manu Martin, and the six ACTs comprising it (composers of the individual tracks &#8211; Joi Barua, Ron J Danziger and Matthieu Eymard), have formed the soundtrack to a series of animated shorts (animation director Samudra Kajal Saikia) themed on a future of companionship between human and inanimate. We are thrilled that the Fantasy has been awarded best Soundtrack at the annual British Short Film Awards 2021, and has just had its world premiere at the Esplanade concert Hall, Singapore. Our next steps are to work on a feature film, and then its on to the sequel of a companionship in space, to find solutions to earth\u2019s environmental crisis, that may save then human race.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column_inner fusion-builder-nested-column-1 fusion_builder_column_inner_1_2 1_2 fusion-flex-column fusion-flex-align-self-center\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:50%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:3.84%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:3.84%;--awb-width-medium:50%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:3.84%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:3.84%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-image-element\" style=\"--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-7 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"240\" height=\"308\" title=\"c3199b_da56176d4fcb4c3a9e0195c1b7bfe812~mv2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/c3199b_da56176d4fcb4c3a9e0195c1b7bfe812mv2.jpeg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/c3199b_da56176d4fcb4c3a9e0195c1b7bfe812mv2.jpeg\" alt class=\"lazyload img-responsive wp-image-38850\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27240%27%20height%3D%27308%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20240%20308%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27240%27%20height%3D%27308%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/c3199b_da56176d4fcb4c3a9e0195c1b7bfe812mv2-200x257.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/c3199b_da56176d4fcb4c3a9e0195c1b7bfe812mv2.jpeg 240w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-19\"><p>Interview: Isabelle Rouault-R\u00f6hlich<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-20\"><p>ITV 2023<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":38847,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[107],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37411","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interviews-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>AN INTERVIEW WITH SUSAN MEY LEE LIM, DIRECTOR, CO-CREATOR, PRODUCER &amp;
