ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE COMPETITION – BODIES & CODES

Ten short films, selected from 83 submissions, make up MixBrasil’s competition of films fully developed with generative artificial intelligence. They offer visions of bodies, desires and identities that do not fit the patterns algorithms recognize easily, and they turn that friction into the matter of cinema. The six Brazilian films show a production that is maturing, with greater command of the language and more risk in what they choose to show. Among the four international titles are new work by Alessandro Bavari, the Italian master of generative art, and by Sijin Liu, last year’s winner of the Silver Rabbit for AI.
