AI FILM PROJECTS
Director: LUDWIG Georg Michael
Inspired by Pan Yuliang's 1924 Self Portrait and her career as a Chinese artist in Europe, this AI-generated film explores female identity, artistic sovereignty, and the ethical limitations of AI in depicting non-sexualized nudity.
Director: LIU Jinpeng
Rooted in the traditional Japanese kabuki dance Renjishi (1861/1872) and its Noh predecessor Shakkyō, this AI-driven piece recreates the lion-training folktale as ukiyo-e-style animation, probing cross-cultural exchange between China and Japan.
Director: SHEN Yihe
Centered on a Tang dynasty ceramic camel from the Shaanxi History Museum, this AI film reveals how machine learning can both preserve and distort cultural heritage.
Director: XIE Yi
Adapting Gui Youguang's Ming dynasty prose piece Xiang Ji Xuan Zhi, a meditation on memory and loss centered on his grandmother, mother, and wife. This AI visualization uses the image of a loquat tree to express the passage of time.
Director: Liang Zhenting
Reworking the rebellious journey of Sun Wukong from Journey to the West through the hyper-realistic 3D CGI style of the video game Black Myth: Wukong, this AI short film visualizes themes of defiance, imprisonment, and eventual redemption.
Director: LEUNG Kong Ming
The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter (Taketori Monogatari), anonymous, late 9th–early 10th century, Heian period, Japan. This project comments on the classic Japanese monogatari through a Ghibli-inspired AI lens.
Director: LIU Tiantian
Based on Li Bai's Tang dynasty poem "Dreaming of Tianmu Mountain," this AI film visualizes the poet's dream journey through a collapsing mythical landscape. The project exposes AI's "intention expression gap," reducing the poet's poetic vision to mechanical movements and blurry immortals.
Director: LU Zhihao
Focusing on the Huarong Path episode from the Ming dynasty novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the historical Battle of Red Cliffs (208–209 CE), this AI film stages the moral dilemma of the general Guan Yu, torn between duty and righteousness.
Director: Cheng Ting Yi
Drawing on the infamous 1911 heist of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa from the Louvre, this project employs AI to spin a speculative conspiracy about forgery, fame, and the manipulation of cultural memory.
Director: Ma Hui Ching Kirsten
Taking Zhang Shanzi's ink painting The Lurking Tiger (c. 1929) and the artist's true story of raising tigers in Suzhou's Wangshi Garden as its source, this AI animation brings the tiger's raw power and the painter's family legacy to life.
Director: Cheung Siu Hin
Blending Tao Yuanming's The Tale of the Peach Blossom Spring (4th–5th century CE) with Homer H. Dubs' "Lost Roman Legion" hypothesis, this AI film imagines a displaced Roman soldier stumbling upon a hidden utopia in ancient China.
Director: WANG Shi Rui
Built from Gu Kaizhi's classical scroll Nymph of the Luo River (Song Dynasty copy) and Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy of Cao Zhi's prose poem, this AI film generates a dynamic visual retelling of the goddess encounter while reflecting critically on AI's cultural blind spots.
Director: WANG Xiaotian
Granting Lin Daiyu a "rebirth" narrative, this AI animation reinterprets Cao Xueqin's classic novel to critique digital capitalism while transforming tragedy into modern agency.
Director: XIE Mingtong
Visualizing Virginia Woolf's fictional Judith Shakespeare, this AI project exposes the technology's struggles with physical logic, Chinese language, and character consistency.
Director: LI Jiahao
Reconstructing key moments from Joan of Arc's trial, execution, and later canonization, alongside the Louvre painting Jeanne d'Arc au sacre du roi Charles VII, this AI project traces her path from divine calling to martyrdom.
