Female Filmmaker - Short40Distrust Everything
AI-Gen FilmAmerican artist Mirek Hardiker, former Stanford researcher, has built a gigantic (21 years on a daily base) archive of transcripts
of his dreams, which serve as a dataset. A generative neural network system 'reads' Hardiker's reports and generates new dreams from what is learnt from the dataset. The generated text serves as a screenplay for the entire film. Archetypal
characters and events thus seem to emerge from a
synthetic unconscious.
The work investigates the relationship between the human and unconscious through an intense and perturbing aesthetic experience. Born as a multichannel installation, the work was co-commissioned by a platform of institutions, including Elevate Festival and Superbudda.

AI-Gen FilmAI Jetée
AI-Gen Film"La Jetée" itself is an iconic work, characterized by its post-apocalyptic narrative set in a war-torn Paris. The film employs a unique technique of using black and white still photographs to unfold the story, offering a haunting visual experience. It delves into themes of time travel, memory, and the hubris of human existence. The film's story was the inspiration for Terry Gilliam's, "12 Monkeys."
"AI Jetée," inspired by Marker's original masterpiece, reinterprets the familiar narrative with the assistance of generative AI. While replicating the film's components, this AI-driven process introduces an element of unpredictability, creating a strange take on the source material. The reproductions are by no means exact and in fact, often go hilariously wrong. Also, since the AI doesn't produce the same person twice, the main characters' appearance morphs into different versions of themselves throughout, which adds to the dreamlike nature of the film. It's like watching the original film as it spirals through the multiverse. The film asks the viewer to consider the interplay between the source and the recreation. It invites audiences to think about what the rise of this technology will do to our understanding of photography, musical composition, vocal performance, and cultural memory.

The Things We Loved
AI-Gen FilmA woman, while preparing to move, stumbles upon an old, dusty box in the attic. She has no recollection of this box, and its contents pique her curiosity. As she opens it, she discovers items from her past that she had long forgotten.
The first item she finds is an old keychain. As she holds it, memories of a childhood friend and a cherished promise come flooding back. In the rush of everyday life, she had let these warm memories fade, and now, the realization that this friend is no longer around fills her with a deep sense of sorrow and longing.
Next, she uncovers a crumpled letter. The letter contains a final, heartfelt message from someone she once knew but had since forgotten. As she reads, she is overwhelmed with shock and regret, and the letter compels her to reflect on the relationships she has lost and the moments she has overlooked in her life. The content of the letter reveals a profound truth, pushing her to reconcile with her past emotions and the unresolved feelings she had buried.
Yet, the mystery of who sent this box and why remains unsolved. While the items in the box are clearly connected to her memories, the identity and intention of the sender are still shrouded in mystery. Determined to uncover the truth, she begins to piece together the clues, revisiting memories and the connections she once held dear.
In the box's depths, she finds a faded photograph and a small candle. The photograph shows her with someone she had lost touch with long ago, someone who had meant a great deal to her. As she lights the candle, she finally understands the last request of the person in the photo and realizes that this box was a final gesture—a message that was meant to reconnect her with her past and help her find peace.
Through this revelation, she decides to reconcile with her past and make an effort to restore the relationships she had neglected. Holding the lit candle, she walks towards the door. As she opens it, bright light floods into the room. She steps into the light, symbolizing her resolve to embrace a new beginning. The film concludes with this image, leaving the audience with a message of hope, courage, and the power of reconciliation.

AI-Gen Film"OUT-OfSIGHT and OUT-OF-MIND what is in your drinking water".
Short40Specializing in diving in potable water. Since 1997 his company has been inspecting and cleaning potable water storage tanks and towers. They have worked in 14 states. This has given him a very unique perspective on the country's drinking water distribution systems. Last year they inspected over 850 potable water storage tanks and cleaned about 150. The problem is about 700 needed to be cleaned. Many had never been cleaned. No regulation requires water tanks to be cleaned in most states.
Why does it matter?
A water storage tank is the last stop water makes between the water treatment plant and your tap. Over time sediment builds up on the floor of most storage tanks. This can add up to inches or even feet of sediment. Tank sediment can become a safe habitat for bacteria, protozoa, or viruses. Keeping the tank clean allows treatment chemicals to do the job they were designed to do. Water utility managers must understand the importance of keeping water storage tanks clean.
