$20 - $50
What would you do with a second chance at life?
In the not too distant future, researchers have developed a means of extending the human lifespan through artificial intelligence (the “uncanny valley” refers to the discomfort people feel when confronted by objects that look and move almost, but not quite like real humans). As Claire (Nancy E. Carroll), a neuroscientist at a life extension laboratory, charts her relationship with a non-biological human named Julian (Lewis D. Wheeler), a painful divide is discovered. Ultimately, Claire must come face to face with her creation…
Filled with moral ambiguity, Uncanny Valley asks, how far are we willing to go to forget, while insisting on never being forgotten?
