Directors: Shivam Rastogi

Overview:

An experimental documentary short exploring how our sense of self is reshaped through conversations with machines. Through the lived experience of people in India speaking to AI, the film captures a fragile moment in which intimacy, care, and vulnerability are quietly shifting away from human bonds and toward artificial companionship. What happens when we train a machine to understand us better than we understand ourselves? Though these exchanges take place in private, the voices reveal something collective.
