The research proposed in the article is aimed at studying the possible consequences of the implementation of the transhumanistic concept presented in cinema. For transhumanists, the exponential growth of technology is becoming an indispensable condition for improving society, which should form a new postbiological future for humanity. The authors explore the possibilities of cinema as a means of promoting transhumanism, as well as a powerful tool for understanding the ethical aspects of the use of innovative technologies and interventions in human nature. This study is the initial stage of work on the study of the mutual influence of transhumanism and cinema.
