Robot T-O (Un monde merveilleux) (2024)
Director: Giulio Callegari

Rather than imagining distant galaxies or futuristic civilizations, these films examine the digital realities we already inhabit—online communities, AI companions, and the evolving relationship between humans and machines. Through two thought-provoking films, audiences are invited to reflect on identity, connection, and what it means to be human in an increasingly technological world.

Knit's Island (L'île sans fin) (2023)
Directors: Ekiem Barbier, Guilhem Causse & Quentin L'Helgouac'h
A remarkable documentary filmed entirely within a survival video game, where players create communities, identities, and social lives inside a virtual world that often feels as real as the one beyond the screen.

Robot T-O (Un monde merveilleux) (2024)
Director: Giulio Callegari
Set in a near future where artificial intelligence has become part of everyday life, a woman searching for her missing daughter unexpectedly forms a bond with a robot, raising questions about humanity, empathy, and our dependence on technology.
