'White on White' is director Viera Cákanyová's video diary that she kept while staying at the Polish Antarctic station, where in 2017 she shot the film 'FREM' (2019), whose main character was an artificial neural network. During her stay, the author chats with various artificial intelligences, leading conversations that touch on the nature of film, art, and the meaning of life while also revealing a way of thinking that's free from humanity and from an emotionality that forces deep introspection. Footage from her routine, everyday life at the station contrasts with lyrical images of the immaculate Antarctic nature, which the author complements with her own commentary and thoughts provoked by the loneliness of the ice-covered landscape.

[Sheffield/Doc] "Human" version of the documentary "FREM" (2019), presented through the director's video diary at the Polish Antarctic Station. The dialogue with AI ann_w establishes the irrelevance of cinema as a form of evolution and marks the rest of the film. The exposition of the man-machine relationship and the disappearance of glaciers is too obvious. The human, finally, fails to stand out over the artificial.
