一部耗资 2,000 美元的 AI 生成电影即将在翠贝卡电影节首映
Next month’s Tribeca Festival will include the premiere of an AI-generated film: Dreams of Violets. The 75-minute film is a fictional dramatization of the Iranian government’s mass killing of protestors in January, with the people and images fully created by AI, as reported earlier by The Hollywood Reporter.
下个月的翠贝卡电影节（Tribeca Festival）将迎来一部 AI 生成电影的首映：《紫罗兰之梦》（Dreams of Violets）。据《好莱坞报道》此前报道，这部 75 分钟的电影是对伊朗政府一月份大规模屠杀抗议者事件的虚构戏剧化呈现，其中的人物和图像完全由人工智能创作。
Dreams of Violets cost $2,000 to make and is “based on journalistic reports, photographs, and eyewitness accounts,” according to a press release. It was created by Ash and Pooya Koosha, two brothers who left Iran in 2009. Pooya cofounded Fountain 0, the company behind the film, while Ash serves as CEO.
根据新闻稿显示，《紫罗兰之梦》的制作成本仅为 2,000 美元，其内容“基于新闻报道、照片和目击者证词”。该片由 Ash Koosha 和 Pooya Koosha 两兄弟创作，他们于 2009 年离开伊朗。Pooya 是该片制作公司 Fountain 0 的联合创始人，而 Ash 则担任首席执行官。
Fountain 0 says Dreams of Violets is the first full-length, live-action, AI-generated film to be accepted at a major film festival. As noted by The Hollywood Reporter, a costlier AI-generated film called Hell Grind screened at Cannes — but at a side event, not the main program. The Koosha brothers say they used Google’s Nano Banana for images, Kling AI for video generation, and Anthropic’s Claude for language editing, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Fountain 0 表示，《紫罗兰之梦》是首部被主流电影节接纳的长篇真人 AI 生成电影。正如《好莱坞报道》所指出的，另一部成本更高的 AI 电影《地狱磨坊》（Hell Grind）曾在戛纳电影节放映，但仅限于周边活动，而非主竞赛单元。据《好莱坞报道》称，Koosha 兄弟表示他们使用了谷歌的 Nano Banana 生成图像，使用快手可灵（Kling AI）生成视频，并使用 Anthropic 的 Claude 进行语言编辑。
Over the past year, AI has become an even more prominent tool in Hollywood. Netflix is embracing the technology with the creation of an AI animation studio and the acquisition of Ben Affleck’s AI startup, while Amazon’s Prime Video just ordered three AI-generated animation series. Meanwhile, Critterz, a film powered by OpenAI’s now-shuttered Sora tool, is trying to find a new AI partner.
在过去的一年里，人工智能已成为好莱坞愈发重要的工具。Netflix 通过建立 AI 动画工作室和收购本·阿弗莱克（Ben Affleck）的 AI 初创公司来拥抱这项技术，而亚马逊的 Prime Video 最近也预订了三部 AI 生成的动画剧集。与此同时，由 OpenAI 现已关闭的 Sora 工具制作的电影《Critterz》正在寻找新的 AI 合作伙伴。
“We fully understand the very genuine sensitivities of those individuals working in the movie industry, and like them we are worried what the unknown implications are for the livelihoods of many,” the Kooshas say in the release. “But the reality is that this film never would have been made if it were not for the AI capabilities that we were able to develop.”
“我们完全理解电影行业从业者内心真实的敏感，和他们一样，我们也担心这对许多人的生计会产生未知的连锁反应，” Koosha 兄弟在新闻稿中说道，“但事实是，如果不是因为我们能够开发出这些 AI 功能，这部电影根本不可能完成。”
Dreams of Violets will screen at the Tribeca Festival on June 10th.
《紫罗兰之梦》将于 6 月 10 日在翠贝卡电影节上放映。
