‘Last Moments’ is a virtual reality film inspired by Dignitas, an assisted death nonprofit in Switzerland. Created by filmmaker Avril Furness, the video simulates the process of accompanied suicide, putting the viewer in the place of someone having to make the profound decision of whether or not to take their life.
The interactive film was created in collaboration with Framestore Pictures, VISYON 360, freelance designers from Punchdrunk, and Grand Central Sound Studios, and is currently making the rounds at film festivals worldwide. In May 2016, Last Moments was also shown to medical professionals and researchers at a euthanasia conference in an attempt to spark discussion about the topic.
