The Tribeca Festival will premiere its first entirely AI-generated feature film next month with "Dreams of Violets," a 75-minute drama that cost $2,000 to produce.

The film presents a fictional dramatization focusing on five strangers who witnessed the Iranian government's killing of protesters in January. All people and images in the movie were created using artificial intelligence technology, with no human actors appearing on screen.

Ash Koosha served as both director and producer of the project. The film represents a notable milestone in AI-generated content, being the first movie created entirely through artificial intelligence to be selected for the Tribeca Festival.

The low production cost of $2,000 demonstrates the potential cost-effectiveness of AI filmmaking technology compared to traditional movie production methods. The project tackles contemporary political events through the lens of fictional storytelling, using AI to recreate scenarios based on real-world incidents.

The Tribeca Festival's inclusion of "Dreams of Violets" signals growing acceptance of AI-generated content in mainstream film programming. The premiere will provide insight into how audiences and industry professionals respond to feature-length films created without human performers or traditional filming techniques.
