The 2026 Tribeca Festival has set the world premiere of “Dreams of Violets,” a fully AI-generated film produced by studio Fountain 0 aimed at showcasing Iranian civilian resistance.

The film’s premiere at Tribeca marks the first full-length, live-action film generated by AI to be accepted by a marquee film festival, according to Fountain 0.

The project took three months — built entirely using tools such as Kling AI for video generation, Anthropic’s Claude AI for language-related editing, Google’s Gemini and Nanobanana for research and imagery and Fountain 0’s own technology for blocking and frame accuracy, according to the company — all from Koosha’s home in London. The film was “not a technological exercise,” Koosha said, but a bid to “create a memorial film for an event that happened behind a wall I cannot cross.”

Why The Past Matters

The Critical Drinker | June 16, 2020

With increasing calls for classic movies and TV shows to be 'altered' to fit our current climate, I want to explain why our entertainment, our art, is not something to be messed with.

Three months to make. All AI.

I've been concerned over the rise of AI in film-making and then I realize that some of my favorite astronomy-related videos that I veg out to on YouTube as I try to fall to sleep are entirely AI and many of them are quite good.

At the end of the day, just entertain me.

The larger issue, however, is the technology that is now escaping the Pandora’s Box. And the possible death of movies will be a symptom of a much larger collapse.

I hear you. There will always be a market for true actors and real directors and film crew; but it will be rarer and harder; much harder.

I’ve had an idea for a music video I’ve been daydreaming about for 40 years. After I retire (soon), I will use AI to take a whack at it.

Oh, that sounds interesting and kinda fun. Somehow let this ping list know, if you get it done! :)
