Solace

Solace is an AI crafted short that follows Tom, a man adrift in memories that blur truth and delusion as he follows a voice he somehow already knows. Written by Ian Sweeney and produced by Arthur Machado, the film uses AI to create dreamlike worlds around a single, isolated figure. 

Premiering at the Runway AI Film Festival 2024 (second edition), Solace went on to win the 2024 Meta Morph Award and screen at ONED Art / Experimental, BAIFF Burano Artificial Intelligence, and Mental Filmness. Its festival run confirms that intimate, mental-health stories can reach global audiences when AI removes the usual barriers to visualising the inner mind.

A film by Arthur Machado & Ian Sweeney.
