Deutschland, USA 2024 – Director: Hans Block, Moritz Riesewieck – Orig. vers. w/English subtitles – subsequ. Q&A w/directors Block and Riesenwieck – Length: 86 min.
Something that has long been promised by religion is now to be honoured by AI: eternal life. Start-ups are already offering services to virtually resurrect the dead. A new industry is emerging around death and mourning. Can AI really change our relationship with death or will it just produce horrific, soulless images? ETERNAL YOU – VOM ENDE DER ENDLICHKEIT presents visions of the AI-influenced world of the future. Pablo Bücheler
