Silicon Souls

With intimate access, we follow Steven as he “downloads” his 93-year-old mother Charlotte before she dies, capturing her memories and likeness to create the first three-dimensional holographic version of its kind designed to live in the home.

Grieving tech founder Justin tries to resurrect his dead mother while turning AI remembrance into a business. Jason, facing mortality after a cancer diagnosis, builds “Robo-Dad”, an AI version of himself, for the son he may leave behind.

Moving from grief and digital immortality to emotional dependency and AI-fuelled delusion, the film asks: can this technology help us grieve, or stop us letting go?
