We’re proud to share that HUMAN NAMES IT HUMAN, our first experimental AI short film, has been officially won Honorable Mention at Poland Subtelny Cinema and AI Festival and nominated at the Korea Artificial Intelligence Cinema Festival (KACF). This nomination represents more than a creative milestone—it reflects a deeper exploration of what it means to be human in an age shaped by artificial intelligence.

HUMAN NAMES IT HUMAN is a philosophical and visual inquiry. At its core, the film asks a simple yet profound question: What are we, really?

As the concept states:

HUMAN NAMES IT HUMAN is my way of asking what we really are. Did we create ourselves with thought? Or did something else give us meaning? Nothing exists unless we give it definition. We’ve built stories to explain everything, from atoms to the meaning of a meaning. But what happens if the mind goes silent? Does anything still exist? This film explores the possibility that everything we see is simply a story we’ve told ourselves—and without the mind, even that dissolves into nothing. 

The project is directed by Siamak Ziba, a filmmaker and visual artist known for blending cinematic storytelling with conceptual exploration. His work often investigates the boundaries between perception, reality, and technology, making AI a medium for inquiry rather than a replacement for creativity.

This achivement encourages us to keep questioning, creating, and redefining.

Because in the end, technology can generate images—but humans generate meaning.
