Los Angeles became the venue for the recognition of Armenian director Lilit Barseghyan: her 19-minute film Unknown Artefact was recognized as the best at the festival, which took place on December 14. The AI International Film Festival is positioned as a platform for "filmmakers of the future" and showcases works created using AI technologies. The film combines science fiction, psychological drama, and experimental cinema, offering viewers a non-standard approach to storytelling.
The jury noted the original non-linear structure and atmospheric visual presentation of the film. Special attention was paid to the use of visual distortions, which reflect the inner disintegration of the main character, rather than serving only as an effect. It was the harmony of the plot and visual experiments that allowed the film to stand out among other projects at the festival.
The organizers emphasized that the AI effects in Unknown Artefact are subordinate to the drama and enhance the narrative, instead of replacing it, as is often found in modern experiments with artificial intelligence. Lilit Barseghyan's work demonstrates that technology can serve artistic purposes and create depth of imagery, opening new horizons for the cinema of the future.
