Blue Planet Science Fiction Film Festival

15/04/2025

🌟 Best Visual Imagination Honor | 6th Blue Planet Science Fiction Film Week 🌟

LIGHTFALL
Director: Emre Okten (USA)
13m33s | When Algorithms Become the Poets of the Universe

Jury Citation:
"A quantum resonance of light—AI uses photons as ink to weave the eternal evolution of the galaxy on a virtual canvas. This is not animation; it’s a poetic embodiment of data streams. Every frame reconstructs the deep grammar of light and civilization through the mirroring of micro and macro scales."
