Dead or alive
Romeo Grünfelder, DE 2024, 60 min, engl./dt. OmeU
A Slovakian mathematician, a medium, is dependent on the quality of a photograph in order to be able to connect with it, to feel it. If this succeeds, the medium claims to be able to determine the vital state of the person depicted in the photograph: dead or alive. Whether this is a credible psychic ability or merely fraud and deception is what four skeptics from San Francisco and a test director want to test in an experiment with a claim to objectivity. The film observes this seemingly bizarre experimental set-up with patience and adds contextualizing information. This creates a lot of room for reflection and a film that only briefly leaves the spheres of the sensual.
