Fukushima

Fukushima is by the AIST team, Ivan Basov, Ivan Kovalev, Nikolay Lesovsky and Yevhen Kunpan; the festival lists the team in Cyprus. It runs about 3 minutes 24 seconds. According to the project page, it follows an engineer during the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster who believes the plant can survive, and watches things slip out of control. The makers say the characters are fictional and the film is an artistic take on the event. It won second place at the Higgsfield Global Film Festival. Under the festival rules the visuals were generated with AI in Higgsfield's Cinema Studio; the project page is marked "Powered by Cinema Studio" and lists models including Seedream 5.0 Pro and Seedance 2.5. In just over three minutes, it tells a real disaster through one engineer's eyes.
