The Architect’s Dream, 8min., Israel
Directed by Einat Graitser
In a future where happiness is mandatory and grief is flagged as a system error, the architect of the city’s ‘Serenity Algorithm’ faces an impossible choice: purge the memory of her late sister to survive, or destroy the perfect utopia she built to remind humanity that pain is proof of life.
Get to know the filmmaker:
What motivated you to make this film?
For the past two years, I have been teaching cinema with a specific focus on science fiction and AI. After teaching the theory and exploring these generative tools with my students, my fingers were simply burning to create something of my own and put everything into practice.
From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make this film?
It took about a month. This is actually the first film where I functioned as a complete one-woman studio—from the initial story and script to the final visual execution.
How would you describe your film in two words!?
Digital Dreamscape.
