The best beer bar in town has over the last five years been a regular hangout for the festival audience with its nice taste and atmosphere. To complete the Thursday night a Midnight Madness screening is held at TÆPS, with films that push the boundaries both for animation as a medium and might also push some for the audience as well. Nine films are selected for the program, some with a trigger warning and all of them with a big WTF stamp.
Age limit: 20
The film is generated by AI for humans. Don’t worry humans are creative and better than AI. You are the ones who will always have the upper hand, because you have the ability to imagine, to feel, to love. Thank you for existing. IDEA: We want to highlight the changes in artistic self-expression of humanity. Exponentially more capable AI tools are replacing countless hours of artistic labor with a prompted result almost instantly. Ever increasing ability to mimic human behavior creates daunting and curious, sometimes funny results. This film is an imprint in time, a documentation of this technology in its infancy stage. Interestingly enough it's already not easy to decipher AI art from that of a human artist. This is portrayed through AI-generated visual art and narrative built from conversations with it. The film is made to create a natural curiosity about this technology and its relationship with humans. Technical information: All images were generated by AI, but animated by humans (after effects). Texts were generated by AI and adapted to fit the idea. Some parts of the music are also generated by Ai, but mostly composed by Julius Zubavičius.
𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗮𝘀 𝗦𝗸𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘀 and Julius Zubavicius combining animation and music in a unique way. Julius is veteran sound designer, and composer who worked on more than on 30 titles and Antanas is one of the most productive animator in Lithuania. They create unique animated short films driven by sound.
