A film completely generated by AI, Dreams of Violets, will screen at the Tribeca Festival. The film dramatizes events around the massacre of Iranian civilians.
What happened
Dreams of Violets is a fictionalized account of the massacre of Iranian civilians. Every image and person in the film is generated using AI video tools. The film is based on journalistic reports, photographs, and eyewitness accounts. The filmmakers created the film because there has been “extremely little first-hand journalism on these events, and the internet has been shut down.”
