The Full AI Selection is dedicated exclusively to short films created entirely through AI-generated images. Here, every frame is born from an artificial process, but behind every image always lies a human mind, a vision, and a new way of expressing and telling stories.

Only by watching can we discover the intentions, ideas and possibilities that, according to these directors, emerge from this new way of doing cinema.

🎬 Don’t miss the screenings at Merge Film Festival, the first festival in Switzerland entirely dedicated to AI in
cinema.

📍 Massagno, Lugano
