Inside a café-restaurant called Le Monde, time seems suspended. The place is filled with people from different backgrounds and generations, each immersed in their own private world. At the center of the café, a birthday celebration is taking place — laughter, cake, and colorful decorations fill the room. But in the background, a silent television screen broadcasts images of the war in Gaza. No one notices. In one quiet corner sits an elderly man with his daughter. He is the only one who watches the images unfold on the screen. As the celebration reaches its peak, the daughter hands him a cane. Only then do we realize that the man is blind. Without saying a word, the two quietly exit the café. The music, joy, and noise continue as if nothing happened. Le Monde is a poetic reflection on indifference, memory, and the violence of silence. It poses a powerful question: in a world full of distractions, who still dares to see — or feel — the truth?

Lola's Light is a poignant animated short film exploring the enduring legacy of a grandmother's sacrifice and affection. Set in a rustic Philippine home, the story follows a grieving adult navigating the dark, empty reality of loss. Just as the weight of grief becomes unbearable, a vibrant, magical memory breaks through the darkness—a vision of their Grandma and the warm, golden light of her freshly baked Pandesal. Blending magical realism with deep cultural roots, the film is a wordless journey through poverty, sacrifice, and the realization that a loved one's recipe is a vessel for their eternal love.

Pause is a generative AI short film made entirely without cameras, actors, or a production crew. Seven intimate scenarios. Seven domestic moments that could escalate into violence. Seven people who pause instead, and name what they feel rather than act on it. This is not a film about domestic violence. It is a film for the people living inside these situations — the person whose words or actions trigger a moment, and the person on the receiving end of it. Both audiences watch the same scene. Both see something different. Both are given language they may never have had before. Each scenario shows one trigger, one escalation, and one reframe. Not a resolution. Not a happy ending. Just the moment where someone names the true emotion instead of the reactive one, and the room changes. This film is for two people. The person who struggles to manage anger in difficult moments and hasn't found the language to describe their emotions. The person who walks on eggshells but hasn't yet named what they're experiencing. The film asks nothing of its viewer except a few minutes of private attention. It costs nothing to watch. No admission that anything is wrong is needed to press play. This film is designed for the moment before patterns are established. It is not intended for people in situations of established violence or coercive control. Made entirely with generative AI — visuals, dialogue, sound design, and music — by Dr Samantha Pillay OAM for AIFilm4Good, the world's first AI-native film studio for social impact. Pause was reviewed prior to release by practitioners with clinical experience and lived experience in the family violence sector. See it. Pause. Choose.

Mugen Dream Forge is an anthology multiverse. Each film is a self-contained world — different characters, different aesthetics, different genres. Masayumi, creator and Game Master, is the only constant across all of them. She doesn't live in these worlds. She builds them. Hate or Dance is the first. Everything in this film is deliberate. The contrast is the film. Not a stylistic choice, it is the actual subject, the film was designed to make that felt rather than explained. It works through the music first. A blackened metal score holding the battlefield in sustained, unresolved tension, then children's voices, a soprano choir ascending, a Sanskrit mantra dropping over a minimal sacred techno pulse. The emotional whiplash is intentional. But that's what the film is. It works through the design. Two factions built from two of the most visually powerful iconographic traditions I know, Ancient Egyptian armor and Ghanaian kente textile, each with a battle identity and a dancing identity. Twenty-two costumes in total. The same characters, two completely different states of being. It works through color. The battlefield lives in a cold, desaturated pre-dawn palette. The transformation lives in saturated tricolor smoke. The two registers never contaminate each other. Their separation is the meaning. This is a singular film for me. It carries different parts of who I am, the fantasy geek, the person who believes transformation is always possible, the filmmaker who thinks joy is as serious a subject as war. AI was used throughout as a tool in service of those intentions. Never the other way around. This film was produced in partnership with Cascade, an end-to-end AI-native production platform built by the teams behind Avengers: Endgame, No Time To Die and Wicked. Described as "the Unreal Engine of storytelling", Cascade's asset-based system made it possible to maintain character consistency, visual coherence and IP integrity across eleven characters and twenty-two fully designed looks, as a solo creator, without juggling disconnected tools. Cascade's open beta is live now at cascadestudio.ai. French lyrics : A spark becomes an idea, and the universe spreads as light, an intention comes to life, fleeting dream, cloud of love. Sanskrit mantra : Svapna Siddhi = the accomplished dream (Masayume in Sanskrit) / Aim Shrim Hrim Svaha = creativity, beauty, heart, so be it / Vam Yam Aim Ananda Shakti Om = fluidity, freedom, the power of joy. Vedic bija mantras.

Sculptor Mauro Baldessari reflects on the dullness, the artistic and human decadence that surrounds him. Therefore the need to combine the two aspects in one idea, one work: Doing One's Part. A reflection on how making art can be far from the canons imposed on us by industry and consumerism. In a conversation, the filmmaker and the sculptor, despite their different ages and professions, find themselves confronting the same doubts and considerations about how it is still possible to make art today. But not only that, it also stems from a need, what Mauro Baldessari defines as the "Sculpture of Obedience": the artist becomes the medium through which the work materializes, obedience becomes gesture. Everything is what it is.

In a barren, drought-stricken landscape, a woman makes the same solitary journey each day, carrying a bucket of water to the last living tree. With each step, the harshness of her surroundings contrasts with the quiet determination of her task. Her ritual is unspoken but deliberate, a gesture of care in a world that seems to have abandoned hope. As the days pass, exhaustion begins to take its toll. The tree shows signs of life, yet the woman falters. Just when she is on the verge of surrender, another figure appears on the horizon, carrying water of their own. Then, slowly, others follow. What begins as a solitary struggle becomes a shared act of resilience.

In an age dominated by speed and oblivion, little Giovannino chooses to stay. His life is inextricably linked to that of a suffering creature who embodies pain and beauty.

Brother and Sister - same Satan (She hadn't... He woudn't...) is a story of me and my dead sister, what she hadn't become and what I wouldn't become. It is about a connection between us, her influence, our similarities, queerness. It is a dialogue. I think, the dead keep being present. On a rise of fascism and era of non-truth, I see it as a bridge to reality and origins in a wider socio-political context *Brother and Sister - same Satan (ukr/rus) - rephrase of “Husband and Wife - same Satan” made and constantly repeated by my sister that means together as one, bonded, the same. Second part: Brother and Sister - same Satan (Water and Wind)
