Whose Child Are You, the first hybrid documentary by our company Docufusion.ai, was screened at a Hollywood theater during the AI International Film Festival, where it received awards for Best Documentary, Best Short Film, Best Editing, and the Audience Choice Award for Best Use of AI.
But more than the awards, what stayed with me was the festival itself. The warm, welcoming atmosphere and the inspiring discussions with fellow filmmakers made it truly special. This festival didn’t just recognize the use of AI; it embraced the human stories behind the technology.
For me, seeing my father, my village, and a deeply personal story on a big screen in Hollywood was an emotional experience. It reminded me why I wanted to explore this new fusion of real footage and AI-generated visuals in the first place: to uncover new ways of storytelling, blending memory and innovation.
We’re deeply grateful to the festival for understanding and celebrating this vision, and we can’t wait to continue this journey.
