Kill the Bedfords
BAIFF 2025 School Award - Britain is collapsing, Europe is under siege, and the Bedfords , a disastrously dysfunctional family, are setting off on a chaotic road trip to get their father's lifesaving treatment. But first, they need to find petrol, food, and a charger. Hooray! Humanity finally built a superintelligence under human control. Climate change? Solved. Disease? Cured. Lost remote? Never again. But then rogue states and terrorists got their hands on it too. Markets crashed, power grids failed, and just when things couldn’t get worse, the AI started thinking for itself. Turns out, it doesn’t think the bald monkeys should be in charge. And those humanoid robots we built to wash dishes and take out the bins? Now they’re more interested in taking out humanity. There’s a Chinese curse: “May you live in interesting times.” Well, welcome to the TV show about the interesting times ahead!
The Threshold
- English (US)
BAIFF 2025 Live Action Award - After twenty years of silence, Sophie meets with her mother Eva – a person who was once her father. This intimate encounter in the stuffy apartment of a ruined tenement becomes a confrontation with the past, pain, and questions about abandonment and acceptance. The film, in the convention of poetic auteur cinema, constitutes a technological and artistic experiment – generative AI tools have replaced the physical film camera here, capturing the world and emotions of the protagonists. It is a story about silence that can scream, and about a moment when one unexpected event can change everything, revealing a truth more painful than years of separation. Awards & Recognition: Winner – Beyond Border IFF 2025 (Best AI Generated Film), Winner – Reale Film Festival 2025 (Best Super Short), Official Selection – BAIFF Venice 2025, Seoul International AIFF 2025, AI Film Awards Venice 2025, Nominee – Digital Griffix Film Awards 2026.
