The Surreal Identity Crisis of “I’m Not a Robot” (short film)
In Victoria Warmerdam’s short film I AM NOT A ROBOT, a series of failed Captcha tests plunges a woman into a strange new reality. She sets out to answer the disturbing question of whether she's a robot, and therefore bought by her own boyfriend, thus undergoing a surreal identity crisis. An intriguing Dutch short film which could well pass for a mini Black Mirror episode. Get ready to rack your brains. Winner of the 2025 Academy Award for Best Live-Action Short. [In Dutch with English subtitles. Also available on Movistar+ with subtitles in Spanish.] 22 min.
