System Error
The collaboration between AI and humans has become increasingly popular. "System Error" explores the challenges facing how humans and AI explore emotional complexity. Ava, a confident young woman, embarks on a seemingly perfect relationship with her lover, her decisions guided by an AI named C. As Ava questions C (with real AI-generated responses by ChatGPT), cracks begin to show in their flawless romance. When the AI starts to glitch, Ava and her partner are forced to confront what true intimacy means, and what technology can never replace. The experience of producing creative content with AI deepened my curiosity about how emerging technologies can reshape meaning.
CHOICES
Dali Progressing Culture
How do generations shift a city differently? In recent years, many have left China’s major cities for Dali, a rural town in Yunnan shaped by the Bai ethnic group and waves of migration. Jiayu, a young artist who moved from Beijing during the pandemic, reflects this cultural shift. In the documentary, she contrasts Beijing’s fast-paced efficiency with Dali’s slower rhythm with the example of the supermarket. While many leave Dali again for its inconveniences, Jiayu chooses to stay. Through her, Dali becomes a space where generations meet, and where every individual choice reshapes the culture.
City Soul
Hutongs are the neighborhoods of traditional architecture in Beijing China, located in the heart of Beijing and represent the city’s culture. Hutong were left behind by the government and people moving out under globalization in Beijing. This documentary shows why Hutongs are an important part of Beijing’s culture even today, and the stories of new voices and actions in Hutong in recent years by young people.
