AI Film Premieres at Tribeca, Tackles Iran Massacre
11 Jun
Summary
- First AI-generated feature film to screen at a major festival.
- Film addresses the January massacre of Iranian civilians.
- Created by Ash Koosha for $2,000 with significant human effort.
A pioneering film, "Dreams of Violets," is making history as the first feature-length movie entirely created by artificial intelligence to be showcased at a major film festival. The 75-minute drama is scheduled for its premiere at the Tribeca Festival on June 10.
The narrative of "Dreams of Violets" centers on a group of individuals whose lives are irrevocably altered by the tragic events of the January massacre of Iranian civilians in Tehran. The film was conceptualized and produced by Ash Koosha, who was born in Iran and departed in 2009.
Koosha achieved this feat with a modest budget of $2,000, emphasizing the substantial human dedication involved. The initial month was dedicated to conceptualization, research, and capturing necessary footage. The subsequent two months were spent on AI image generation, video processing, and post-production, often completed during nighttime breaks from his primary employment.
