AI Inspiration WorldAbout the film
The Jungle of Death is a short by Renan Monteiro, around two and a half minutes long. A man walks into the Darién Gap between Colombia and Panama to find his mother, and after seven days lost he can no longer tell what's real. It won Best Photography at the Czech International AI Film Festival (CIAIFF) 2025, a festival that only takes films made with AI. The director hasn't said which AI tools he used.
Who it's for:viewers who like psychological thrillers and want a tense couple of minutes.
Before you watch: the film is on Renan Monteiro's YouTube channel, about 2 minutes 29 seconds, set to unlisted, so it only opens from the link. Spoken language and subtitles aren't stated. We haven't watched the whole film.
Based on the director's YouTube release, the CIAIFF winners list and the festival catalogue. Watch the film itself for the full picture.
