‘Electric Child’ Director Simon Jaquemet Talks AI, New Series and Adaptation of ‘The Lifecycle of Software Objects’ (EXCLUSIVE)
‘Electric Child’ director Simon Jaquemet talks new projects: a series and adaptation of ‘The Lifecycle of Software Objects’ by Ted Chiang.
Swiss director Simon Jaquemet – fresh off the world premiere of “Electric Child” at Locarno – is already working on an adaptation of “The Lifecycle of Software Objects” by U.S. science fiction writer Ted Chiang. In the meantime, Jaquemet is bound to provoke heated discussions with his new film, “Electric Child.” Echoing many AI-related conversations taking place at the festival, he shows a happy couple: Sonny and Akiko (Elliott Crosset Hove and Rila Fukushima), who just welcomed their first child. Produced by Michela Pini, Aurelius Eisenreich and Jaquemet for 8horses, “Electric Child” was co-produced by Titus Kreyenberg, Raymond van der Kaaij, Judith Lichtneckert, Bianca Balbuena and Bradley Liew for unafilm, Revolver Amsterdam, Perron X, Epicmedia Productions, SRF/SRG SSR and CH Media.
