DEATH OF DEATH (Dāvis Sīmanis, 2025, Czechia, Latvia, 68 mins)
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 the profound 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.
Discussion at Vyšehrad
After the screening at Vyšehrad, a discussion in Czech will follow. The film's producer, Radim Procházka, and Jan Pačes from the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Czech Academy of Sciences will talk about the biology of ageing, the possibilities of extending life and the limits of human existence. There will also be time for questions from the audience. The discussion will be moderated by Zuzana Burešová from Czech Radio.
