Vic­to­ria Hotter­dam, the author and direc­tor of the brief movie, “I’m Not a Robotic,” sum­ma­rizes the plot of her 22-minute movie as fol­lows: The movie “tells the sto­ry of Lara, a music professional­duc­er who spi­rals into an exis­ten­tial cri­sis after repeat­ed­ly fail­ing a CAPTCHA check—main her to ques­tion whether or not she may actu­al­ly be a robotic. Via a darkish comedic lens, [the film] explores themes of iden­ti­ty, self-deter­mi­na­tion, love, and tech­nol­o­gy in a world the place the road between human­i­ty and arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence is becom­ing increas­ing­ly blurred.” This previous week­finish, “I’m Not a Robotic” received the Oscar for Finest Dwell Motion Brief, mark­ing the primary time a Dutch brief movie acquired this hon­or.
