Em Assumes Death
Short films, Denmark / Sweden 2025, 30 Min., engl. OV
At the moment he dies, Em’s ghost books a sitting with an AI-generated coach named Tammy. The anime avatar patiently calls up all the clips that brought Em to this point, the redundant message of which is: What you imagine becomes real. Jacob Schill paints an intoxicating picture of an imagination colonized by social media, in which self-affirmation and delusion become indistinguishable.
The film is part of the short film programme Nordic Shorts 5: Chilled.
