District 9 Director Neill Blomkamp’s TEDxVancouver video
TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) is a foundation known for its conferences devoted to what it calls ‘ideas worth spreading’. Along with the regular TED event, held in Long Beach CA, and the TED Global conferences (held in different cities each year), there are now independently organized TEDx events happening around the globe. In November 2009 TEDxVancouver took place at the Electronic Arts Burnaby campus.
The event’s theme was ‘Forever Young’, and one of the invited speakers was Neill Blomkamp, South African born Canadian, and Vancouver Film School trained, director of Best Picture Oscar nominee ‘District 9’, one of our favourite films of 2009.
Since he was unable to attend the event he recorded a video, which was just posted onto YouTube, where he talks about District 9, extraterrestrial life, Dyson spheres, Ray Kurzweil, and the future of humanity! Pretty heavy stuff…how this might relate to his much anticipated second feature is anyone’s guess…
Good luck Neill at the Oscars!

Although I’ve heard much of this before, not all of it, and it’s well presented.
If Blomkamp can bring some of these ideas (Dyson spheres, the transition to Type 1 civilization) to the big screen, that would be interesting. In fact, maybe somebody should give him a copy of Greg Egan’s Quarantine for adapting… 🙂
