What Happened
The first volume of 'Sh(AI)ved', a collection of AI-generated short films, debuted on the sidelines of the Cannes Film Festival and is now streaming on Cultpix. Thomas Meier of the Norwegian firm Multiformat used generative AI tools to convert erotic magazine photo spreads published in 1976 into animated videos. The resulting films feature color, synchronized sound, dialogue, voiceover, and photo-realistic human faces and bodies set against 1970s-style decor.
Why this Matters to You
This development may signal a new frontier for content creation, where historical media can be reanimated with modern technology. As generative AI tools become more accessible, you could see a wider range of archival material—from photos to texts—being repurposed into new audiovisual experiences. This could expand the variety of niche entertainment available on streaming platforms.
What's Next
The debut at Cannes and availability on a streaming service suggests this project could be a test case for similar AI-driven filmmaking. More volumes or collections based on other vintage media might be developed if this initial release finds an audience.
