"Splendid short! Very well made with a strong message which makes us a bit afraid in respect to our own future."

"What a great movie! I just deactivated Siri"

"This twenty minute short from Christian Stahl takes a look at the future ...and it's a dark one. George Orwell sends his regards."

"Beautifully shot, intelligently conceived, and artfully directed Athena is as eerie as any ‘short’ can be. But it’s also in that family of eerie story-telling that’s on another plane: The haunting stories one can actually imagine creeping into our highly-connected obsessively customized three dimensional lives. If the future is now don’t bother looking over your shoulder. It’s your own pocket you have to worry about."

"Stahl did it again! With his new and thrilling short Christian Stahl (Hundeleben, Gangsterläufer) addresses technology apologists as well as skeptics at the same time. He forces his audience to reflect about the possibilities of artificial intelligence in the most entertaining way. Category: worth seeing!"
