First Trailer for Fully AI-Generated Movie 'Dreams of Violets,' Premiering at Tribeca

Dreams of Violets is a 75-minute live-action film generated using AI and scheduled to premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in June. Directed by Ash Koosha, it chronicles violent protests in Tehran in January 2026. The story follows five strangers hiding in a dead-end alley as Iranian forces execute wounded protesters. A violent soldier discovers them, while Amir, a child in a wheelchair, watches from a window and decides to act. Fountain 0 describes the film as the first full-length, live-action AI-generated movie accepted by a major festival. Tribeca co-founder Jane Rosenthal emphasizes the film’s emotional immediacy and urgency, linking its themes to global conversations about artificial intelligence and Iran.

"At dawn, as Iranian forces execute wounded protesters, a violent soldier discovers the five hiding in a dead-end alley. Above them, Amir, a child in a wheelchair, watches from a window and decides to act."

"At this time in history when both artificial intelligence and Iran are central to global conversation, this film offers audiences a rare and intimate perspective into a conflict many have not been able to fully see or understand. What moved us was not just the technological achievement, but the emotional immediacy and urgency of the story itself."

"Dreams of Violets, a feature-length, fully AI-generated live-action film, will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in June, and you can see the first footage from the movie in the trailer above."

"Fountain 0, which says it's the first full-length, live-action film generated by AI to be accepted by a major festival. It's unclear what technology was used to generate the images, but Koosha was inspired by the protests to turn around something quickly."
