Neill Blomkamp directed District 9, which is up for a Best Picture Oscar. Here is his TED talk. I wish I had the level of intelligence required to comment on this in any way.
I will say this, while it starts about aliens (SWEET!), it probes some of the issues of this class. Most notably, it puts the current state of our civilization into a universal civilization framework. Blomkamp mentions two subjects that have utterly fascinated me for some time, the Kardashev Scale of Civilization Classification and the Singularity (both of which coincidentally involve upward-sloping graphs) WATCH IT.
