Artificial Intelligence meets Gaming Culture
Virtual spaces as sites of exchange and transformation: the program AI x Games explores how digital worlds and AI-generated images give rise to new spaces for play and thought. The focus lies on moments in which inner contradictions are revealed.
Before the Drop
Rosa Wernecke • DE 2025 • 5min • enOF • Austrian premiere
Before the Drop investigates the structural bias of generative systems against queer intimacy. Through a dialogical process with ChatGPT, a resistant visual language emerges that reclaims lesbian desire through metaphor.
Kinderfilm
Total Refusal • AT 2023 • 11min • enOF • Tyrol premiere
The routinized normality of Grand Theft Auto V forms the starting point of Kinderfilm. The absence of children points to what is missing from the generated world: a future.
La Fenêtre
Lucas Ortiz Estefanell • ES 2025 • 10min • frOF+enUT • Austrian premiere
La Fenêtre reopens the question of reality. The film reflects on how perception and truth shift when images are produced with the help of AI and simultaneously become mirrors of the self.
World at Stake
Total Refusal • AT 2024 • 18min • enOF+enUT • Tyrol premiere
Endless competitions in World at Stake undermine the logic of victory and defeat, negotiating a sense of collective powerlessness in the face of global crises.
Third Impact
S()fia Braga • AT 2024 • 4min • enOF+enUT • Tyrol premiere
With Third Impact, a speculative narrative unfolds around the end of anthropocentrism. After the disappearance of organic life, a quantum computer questions its own existence.
Beauty and the Beep
Simone C. Niquille • NL 2024 • 14min • enOF+enUT • Tyrolian premiere
Beauty and The Beep follows the chair Bertil as it moves through a virtual home. The film asks how our living spaces change when they are designed to be readable and standardizable for algorithms.
