Nothing’s Left
2022
Dir. Davide Pellino Italy (in English)
4:50
A haunting depiction of various aspects of our society, an abstract vision exploring the ideas behind privacy, social media, and consumerism. Each one of us is both an architect of and a pawn in this system, but is there a way to unplug from the cycle?

By exploring the possibilities of combining A.I.-generated content with hand-drawn 2D animation, “Be Gone” tells the story of a mobile phone that experiences the plight of modern society in a serendipitous epiphany, learning what it means to be human between life and death.
@scroll_alice
2021
Dir. Céline Ufenast
UK
3:37
An experimental short about our love-hate relationship with Instagram and our editing habits. Based on first-hand experiences collected through interviews, “@Scroll_Alice” is a virtual conversation about our “social-mania” and a denial of its effects on our mental health.
A.I. Mama
2020
Dir. Asuka Lin
USA
4:53
A young programmer attempts to resurrect their lost mother by coding an A.I. that can input past memories. Shot handheld on raw black and white Super 8, this frenetic live-action and animated film crescendos into a cathartic collapse of the binaries of mother and child, creator and creation.
Estuas
2022
Dir. Michael Hofmann
USA
4:33
An exploration of a parallel world of artificial intelligence and generative transmissions of life from estuarine ecosystems as a metaphor for synthesis. This multi-layered experience culminates in the emergence of macro- and microcosmic amalgamations emblematic of systems teeming with life.
