Cryonic (Season 1)

Cryonic (2023) is a Russian documentary series streaming online on iFILM, directed by Anastasiya Kozhevnikova and Andrey Ananin. Each episode profiles real clients of KrioRus — the first commercial cryonics company in Europe — who chose to have themselves, their relatives or their pets cryopreserved.

The interviews are personal and specific: a mother frozen by her adult children, a man who preserved his dog, a scientist who sees no contradiction between reason and the hope of revival. What holds the series together is the question underneath every conversation — what does it mean to refuse death as a final answer? An unusual, sober piece of documentary filmmaking.
