A ROBOT OF ME is a short AI-generated film that plays out like a virtual reincarnation of Andy Warhol in the age of artificial intelligence. In an apparently mundane scene - Andy buying soup in a supermarket - a philosophical daydream begins to unfold. The film echoes his famous quote: “Machines have less problems.

Flower of the valley
- Español
Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing Puerto Rico transitioning from Spanish to American rule, this film tells the inspiring true story of Ana Roqué Geigel de Duprey—a trailblazing educator, botanist, writer, and rebel astronomer - from late 19th to early 20th centuries. Roqué's relentless pursuit of knowledge and equality led her to co-found the island’s first women’s suffrage movement and establish hundreds of schools across the island. During her life, she found solace in the study of Puerto Rico's rich flora, particularly while working on her life's passion, Botánica Antillana, a manuscript detailing over 6,000 species of the island's plants and flowers. Though her work empowered countless women and transformed education, her botanical masterpiece remains unpublished, its beauty still waiting to bloom.
