8th edition of One-Off Moving Image Festival

We are inviting filmmakers, artists, and creators to submit ultrashort video works for the festival centered around the theme « Mirror me »
Exploring AI cloning, imitation, and how machines reflect or distort the ways humans (or machines) think of themselves: when machines mirror us, what remains uniquely human? We’re looking for 1-second video works exploring the complex relationship between AI and human identity and cognition, whether artistic, conceptual, philosophical, or other interpretations or reflections. When algorithms can mimic our voices, faces, and even our creativity, we ask: What is a mirror now? Is it a reflection, a copy, or something else entirely? What happens when the echo is more perfect than the original? What if we’re mirroring a specific, limited machine called ‘human’, and that in our vanity we feel our identity threatened instead of feeling humbled by being mirrored by a more powerful, general intelligence? Your 1-second video could be a concentrated burst of thought, a glimpse into the uncanny valley, or perhaps an absurd, profound reflection on the nature of being (human or machine). We encourage approaches that use humor, visual poetry, digital and conceptual art to challenge our perceptions. May your work be a flash of insight, a 1-second portal into the core of a digital identity crisis.
