Céremony

About this film

In a near-future where perception of minors in distress is heavily filtered, the only survivor of a city erased in an apocalyptic strike, a 12-year-old girl, is interviewed to tell the world what happened. But she holds the key to a darker truth about children in our society. CÉREMONY is a visual fable about aesthetic capture, desensitization, and the cost of protecting the world from the reality of trauma. 🏆 Top 12 Finalist of the $1,000,000 AI Film Award 2026 by 1Billion Follower Summit & Google Gemini 🏆 Grand Prize at the Indywood International AI Cinefest 2026 🏆 Winner "Best Short Film" & "Best AI-Themed Short" at Universal Sci-fi & Fantastic Film Festival 2026 (US3F26) 🏆 Winner "Shared Trace" Category at Unhuman Shorts II 2026 🏆 Winner "Best AI Film" at 5th Children's, Science, Nature & Wildlife Film Festival 2026 🏆 Winner "Best Director AI Film" at New York City Independent Film Festival 2026 🏆 Winner "Best AI Short Film" at Qld AI Festival 2026 🏆 Winner "Best AI Film" at Hanyang International Shorts Awards (HISA) 2026 🏆 Winner "Silver Award" in "AI Short Film" at Bali International AI Film Festival 2026 🏆 "Special Jury Prize in AI Cinema" at 4th MetaCannes Film3 Festival 2026 🏆 Special Jury Mention "Best AI Film" at GLOW International Film Festival 2026 🏆 Honorable Mention "Best AI Film" at Titan International Film Festival, 4th Edition 2025
