Plot Outline

Why do we fall so easily for fake news and conspiracy theories, and what can we do about it?

Disinformation and conspiracy theories have reached a level unwitnessed since the turmoil of the 1930s. Feature documentary, "How To Build A Truth Engine", portrays a crack-team of investigators from the fields of technology, journalism, folklore and neuroscience who show that if you hack the information feed, you can hack somebody’s mind.

Special screening on January 14 at 17:30 in cooperation with the Austria Press Agency followed by a panel dicussion (in German) with filmmaker Friedrich Moser and Christoph Koettl (New York Times) and Florian Philipp Schmidt (Verification officer at APA) about the consequences of the announced end of fact checks on social media.
