YOU LISTEN ALWAYS

WHAT
To what extent do we allow artificial intelligence to become part of our love life? This short movie presents the pros and cons of an intimate relationship between man and machine.

WHY
Add an advanced algorithm to a dating app and you get Intispace: a new platform that provides you with digital friends, whom you can talk to 24 / 7, watch movies with and fall in love with — and they will never leave you. But are they for real?

HOW
Tijnke van Gelder wrote a scenario for a futuristic love story that could come true with state-of-the-art technology. The main character falls for a girl and starts dating her digitally, which makes him quite happy. But when he wants to meet her in real life, things get complicated.

Humanising machines is not necessarily a bad thing.
