Tribeca to World-Premiere Fully AI-Generated Iranian Resistance Film
Tribeca Film Festival will world-premiere Dreams of Violets, a 75‑minute docudrama created entirely with AI by Ash and Pooya Koosha. Made on a reported $2,000 budget with AI replacing actors, sets and cameras, the film dramatizes Iranian civilian resistance and the January 2026 massacre; organizers describe it as the first fully AI-generated feature admitted to a major festival’s official lineup. The premiere is June 10 in New York, with co-founder Jane Rosenthal highlighting AI-driven storytelling as a new frontier for independent film.
