AI Inspiration WorldAbout the film
Clown is a short by UK-based artist and filmmaker Shanshan Jiang, finished in 2025 and running just under four minutes. Reply describes it as a surreal mix of live action and AI imagery: a talented clown seeking the audience's approval keeps changing her routines, appearance and personality to please the crowd, until performance and reality blur. It appears in the official list of films for the 2025 Reply AI Film Festival, and the same year it won Bronze in the Film Content category at the Seoul Global AI Film Festa (SGAFF).
Who it's for:viewers who like surreal, psychological shorts, and creators curious how live action and AI images can be stitched together.
