Although the newly introduced "Ready~Action! Creative & AI" section received a modest number of submissions in its inaugural year, the selected films reflect sharp and thoughtful perspectives on technology and what it means to be human.
These works explore the boundaries between reality and virtuality, machine and human. A student questioning an AI grading system and a robot wrestling with its own identity, both ask what is truly "real" in an age of algorithms. Yet alongside these questions, the films capture emotions no AI can replicate: the search for a lost dream, the trembling of a confession, and the bitter compromise made when faced with another's crisis.
In the end, the most creative force emerges from our most human shortcomings and uncertainties. We invite you to witness these first achievements on screen, and hope that many more works crossing the boundaries of art and technology will find their place in this section in the years to come.
