A live-action feature-length film entirely generated by AI will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival next week. The film, “Dreams of Violets,” was made for $2,000 and produced without cameras, lenses, actors, or sets. It is presented as a world first for a major festival acceptance. AI-generated movies have appeared before, including “Hell Grind” at Cannes, though it was not officially part of the festival. “Dreams of Violets” is created by Fountain 0 and brothers Ash and Pooya Koosha, and it dramatizes thousands of protestors killed by the Iranian government. The filmmakers say AI video models were built from journalistic reports, photographs, and eyewitness accounts to create realistic, impactful imagery.

""While every image and person in the film is AI generated, it is based on journalistic reports, photographs, and eyewitness accounts from which AI video models were used to create a remarkably touching, impactful and at times shocking film," the filmmakers claim. "The combination of creativity and technological innovation resulted in a film that appears as realistic as films produced through traditional human labor.""
""Dreams of Violet" is made by new AI company Fountain 0 and first-time filmmakers, brothers Ash and Pooya Koosha. It is a fictional dramatization of the thousands of protestors killed by the Iranian government earlier this year. "This is a very personal story to us having experienced brutality in Iran, and so the brutality that came about as a result of the January protests in Iran hit a real nerve with us.
