VENICE, Italy – Aug. 13, 2025 – The indie sci-fi film ‘Personhood’ by British filmmaker Richard Jordan has been selected for its market world premiere by the 82nd Venice International Film Festival as part of its Venice Production Bridge. The screening will take place Sept. 2 at Sala Pasinetti on the Venice Lido.
Set in the near future on Spain's Costa del Sol, ‘Personhood’ follows Waylen, a lonely, physically challenged man who purchases Gala, a stunning AI companion robot. As he struggles with his own insecurities and inability to connect, Waylen's relationship with Gala develops in unexpected ways. But the arrival of Waylen's charming younger brother threatens to unravel everything.
Exploring the blurred line between programming and free will, love and loneliness, ‘Personhood’ is a haunting and provocative sci-fi drama that asks: If an AI says it loves you, how do you know it is not the truth?
The film is Jordan’s third feature, and he is currently working on his fourth — an LGBTQ horror film also set on the Costa del Sol.
