Death of Death (director: Dāvis Sīmanis, 2025, Czech republic, Latvia, 68 min,)

The COVID-19 pandemic raised the question of whether it is possible to escape death. The film’s author embarks on a personal existential journey to explore if science can extend life or overcome its natural limits. He meets visionaries, filmmakers, influencers, cryonics experts, and evolutionary biologists, including transhumanist Zoltan Istvan, who advocates immortality as a human right. The film also examines fascination with death, its rituals, aesthetics, and collective celebrations, revealing theprofound paradox of human existence.

“Immortality, the fight against aging, the fear of death. When I started making this film, I thought I might learn how to live a little longer. But then things took a turn. Scientists at Yale are reviving pigs. People are implanting neurochips into their brains. Biohackers are handing out tips on how to extend life. The whole world is already living in the age of transhumanism. And I’m the only one who’s been left behind.” — Dāvis Sīmanis.
