About this film
IMAGINE follows K, a man determined to live forever. Through a brain implant, his memories and imagination become the foundation of a world he believes is his own. Alone in a magnificent seaside mansion, he clings to childhood possessions as proof that something remains real. But when a blue-haired figure from his past appears, his body and surroundings undergo disturbing transformations. Memories of friendship and loss resurface, blurring the boundary between the life he remembers and the reality he inhabits. As technology promises an existence beyond death, K’s imagined world reveals the fragile connections between memory, identity, and what it means to be alive.
The title, makers, description and prizes are as Artefact AI Film Festival's page gives them (read 2026-11-12); the film is its makers', played from its uploader's copy in Vimeo's player, unchanged. The AI-made label, from its festival's own words, and which profiles see it are this site's own.
