Victoria Warmerdam's Oscar-winning Dutch short film in which a woman fails a series of Captcha tests and is plunged into a strange new reality. It is a dark, Black Mirror-like sci-fi comedy.
HN brings it up in threads about captchas, bots and AI agents as an excellent short film about being a robot.

If anyone hasn't seen it yet there is an excellent short movie online called "I'm not a Robot". ▶ this video Well worth a watch.
Oh my, a Dutch film that actually sounds good?! I get to watch a movie that's originally in my native language for perhaps the second time in my life, thanks for linking this :D Edit: and it's on YouTube in full! Was wondering which streaming service I'd have to buy for this niche genre of Dutch sci-fi but that makes life easy: ▶ this video Final update: well, that was certainly special. Favorite moment was 10:26–10:36 ^^. Don't think that comes fully across in the baked-in subtitles in English though. Overall it could have been an episode of Dark Mirror, just shorter. Thanks again for the tip :)
As per the Oscar winning "I'm not a Robot" [0], you should also consider that you might in fact be a robot. [0] ▶ this video
Seems like a mention of the 2025 Academy Award winner for Best Action Live-Action Short, called "I am not a Robot" is in order here: ▶ this video
Next, I'm sure, you'll be telling me you're not a bot, Mr Marshall? ▶ this video Previously (6 months ago but didn't trend, perhaps due for a repost?): link
