Quotes:

“Pay homage to the T-1000, C-3PO and other famous androids throughout history!” – Timeout New York

“I’m boinging up and down like a juice-box fueled kindergartener in her own personal robot-powered bouncy house at the mere thought of the 2nd Annual Robot Film Festival” - SuicideBots

“The films brought to the fore a wider and pertinent issue, says judge Celeste Biever, who is deputy news editor at New Scientist — they “highlight robots’ potential to help and captivate humans, and consider what they show us about what it means to be human and alive.” - Wired UK

“The evening was a visual and musical extravaganza which included comedic robot reggae by Reggie Watts, and a dance lesson in how to do the robot by street performer Josh Ventura. Donning a sparkling black gown, Knight handed out Botskers (Robot Oscars) to each of the 10 winners.” - Technology Review Magazine

“The Robot Film Festival is like the inverse of the Robocup, the annual international robotic soccer contest: the most loved robots here aren’t necessarily the smartest, but rather the most interesting… until the Singularity that is, when the same robot is liable to beat Spain in the World Cup, get nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar, and hire Alex Trebek’s digitized brain as her personal assistant.” - Motherboard TV
