As the lights turn off, the air becomes saturated with the sense of the forbidden, grabbing our characters into a vortex of red-lit tales. How does it actually feel for a woman to have an orgasm, or a cat to rub itself? How do cannibals scream and what are the creatures of the forest doing when nobody is watching?
KLIMAX
Director: Bea Höller
Year: 2022
Length: 2:46
Country: Germany
Production: Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg GmbH
Synopsis:
In KLIMAX, we create the inner world of the female organ with abstract and associative images. Our main protagonist, Barbie, goes through a process of transformation. She emerges like Alice in Wonderland into a magical world, a place of temptation and joy. It is a fantastic place that makes her change little by little to get rid of her stiffness and repression. She passes through several different phases, melting away with exhilaration until she reaches her climax – an implicit orgasm – becomes a liquid magic gel. In this process, eroticism is not created by explicit pictures, but by associative images and movement.

Algodreams
Director: Vladimir Todorovic
Year: 2023
Length: 11:37
Country: Australia
Production: Hoopsnake Studio
Synopsis:
Algodreams are made by prompting AI systems to imagine the future of life on planet Earth. They dreamt of time machines, memory machines, flamingos that can save the oceans, the AI civilization that destroys humans to protect the planet, and they dreamt of self-driving bicycles that fall in love. These algorithmic visions are made possible by the humans who are putting heroic efforts to build new AI infrastructures, promising to create essential services to live in this world. In making Algodreams, a human assisted the machines by passing messages between different AI systems which are currently incapable of communicating with one another. The results are entertaining and shocking. They show machines’ ability to mimic, synthesize, surprise, and retell stories that humans already dreamt and wrote. While machines are turning into wonderful storytellers, animators or actors, humans are slaying their way to produce new forms of machine creativity and intelligence.
