Bear in mind

The final moments of Karl Brant

In the near future, a neurologist and two homicide detectives use experimental brain taping technology to question a murder victim about his final moments.

Theories revolving around mind transference/alteration have been a staple of science fiction for some time now and whether it’s the relocation of a person’s identity to a mechanised being (Robocop) or the reprogramming of memories (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), concepts revolving around how technology can advance or capture consciousness seem ever-popular in this visionary genre.

The latest film to tackle such ideas is Matthew Wilson’s "The Final Moments of Karl Brant", based on ideas from the The Singularity is Near by author Ray Kurzweilwhich, the plot sees a scientist’s attempts to upload his being to a computer become a vital tool in the solving of a murder case.
