"KINGDOM" is a short film entirely crafted through generative artificial intelligence, that delves into the profound impact of inherited traumas and societal conditioning on human free-will. The film innovatively uses a mix of photorealistic and digital animations to follow the lives of infants from various parts of the globe, born into a tumultuous world where their earliest perceptions are shaped by invisible, yet powerful societal structures.
The narrative explores how governments, families, and cultural institutions begin to mold individuals' identities from the moment of birth, intertwining genetic legacies with learned behaviors and beliefs. This process is visually represented through expressionistic techniques and stunning visual metaphors, creating a compelling critique of the cognitive dissonances and flawed belief systems that dominate our existence.
