Eternal You (18*)

— ,Cinemas

If you had the chance to talk to a loved one who died, would you take it? A haunting documentary on technology's ability to resurrect the dead. 

If you had the chance to talk to a loved one who died, would you take it? Looking into the present and future of technology, this film delved into the world of avatars of the deceased. 

Eternal You examines the story of people who live on as digital replicants in the pockets of their loved ones. With the help of artificial intelligence and Big Data, a dream comes true that is as old as mankind itself: eternal life. 

Following tech start-ups which use a wealth of data to develop “digital doppelgangers,” which promise to immortalize people on earth. 

The film raises a number of questions, such as: Can a digital entity compensate for the loss of a loved one? How will human memory be affected? And do we not have the right to forget?

A film about what might become one of the greatest (or most haunting) human experiments of our time.
