Feature film created entirely by artificial intelligence Violet dreams From directors and producers, Ash and Pooya Koosha has been officially scheduled at the Tribeca Film Festival for its world premiere.
The AI-generated film will premiere on June 10 at the AMC Flat Iron Theater in New York City. “The Tribeca Festival has long championed artists who push the boundaries of storytelling and explore new creative frontiers. Violet dreams Jane Rosenthal, co-founder of the Tribeca Festival, said: Hollywood Reporter In a statement.
“At this time in history, when artificial intelligence and Iran are central to the global conversation, this film offers viewers a rare and intimate perspective on a conflict that many have not been able to see or fully understand. What moved us was not only the technological achievement, but the emotional immediacy and urgency of the story itself.”“,” Rosenthal added.
grind hell, A satanic 95-minute film produced by artificial intelligence, it recently screened at Cannes, but as a side event during the event’s film market, and not in the official program of the prestigious festival. The Kosha Brothers and Tribeca are promoting it Violet dreams As the first full-length AI-generated film to be accepted into a major film festival as part of the official lineup.
The 75-minute live-action film was produced over three months at a cost of $2,000, with actors, sets and cameras replaced by artificial intelligence models in its production. At the same time, the script, Ash Koosha’s expression of the characters before being modified by A-Tools, and the AI-generated actors were blocked on screen by the director using human creativity.
Ash Kosha said in a statement to the director that the imaginative dramatization of the January 2026 massacre of Iranian civilians at the hands of Iranian regime forces could not have been done without artificial intelligence tools. “I want to be honest about why I made it that way. It wasn’t a technological exercise. I would have preferred to make this film with a crew, with actors, with the dignity of a full production. That wasn’t available to me. I’m one person, in exile, with no access to Iran, no access to locations, no access to people. The AI pipeline made it possible to do what would have otherwise been impossible: to create a memorial film of an event that took place behind a wall I couldn’t cross.” books.
The film’s synopsis from the producers read: “Tehran, January 2026.” Violet dreams It is a 75-minute docu-drama film inspired by true events that occurred over the course of 47 years of Iranian civil resistance. Through the eyes of five strangers, it brings protest footage to life in real-time. At dawn, as Iranian forces execute wounded protesters, a violent soldier discovers the five hiding in a dead-end alley. Above them is Amir, a child in a wheelchair, watching from the window and deciding to act.”
The Kosha brothers were born in Iran and left the country in 2009. They’re also no strangers to cloud computing and AI technology, having founded Claigrid, a cloud AI customization company with former NBC Cable boss Tom Rogers as its CEO.
Violet dreams It is the first film from Fountain 0, a new AI-powered company launched to produce full-length AI-generated films and television series. To headline the Tribeca festival, the Pooya brothers used AI software tools like Google Nanobanana for images and keyframes, and Kling AI to generate video from frames. Additionally, Claude AI was used for language-related editing and Google Gemini assisted with research on the project.
Having completed their first feature film, the Pooya brothers now see the AI-generated film model developed through UK-based Fountain 0 as a ready-made production for independent filmmakers, even if the demise of Hollywood has been predicted due to automated AI tools.
Ash Kosha, who is based in London, UK as CEO of Fountain O, added in a statement: “This will give chills to many in Hollywood. However, for many independent filmmakers, and they will be independent filmmakers, for whom the biggest barrier is access to money to make their films, Fountian 0 technology solves the financial barriers they face. As a first-time filmmaker, there is no way I could have made this film happen without what our AI tools have enabled me to do.” Furthermore, we will strive to seek out the best talent from writers and directors whose creativity can be harnessed to produce great films without their imagination and visions facing any financial constraints.
to Violet dreamsEvery image and person in the film was created by AI, but the dramatization is based on newspaper reports, photographs and eyewitness accounts from which AI video models were used.
Boya Kosha, co-founder of Menlo Park, California-based Fountain 0 and producer of Violet dreamsHe added in his own statement: “Having been deeply involved for a number of years in how AI is used and tamed at the highest and most advanced levels, I realized that our video production techniques were far ahead of the rest of the market. I also realized that our ability to improve our AI production techniques on each subsequent film was a tremendous opportunity for Fountain 0 to exploit.”
