The Prometheus Expedition

The Prometheus Expedition is an AI short by Abel Art, about nine and a half minutes long, that uses documentary footage and interviews to tell the story of a secret government project. It won Best AI Documentary at the Czech International AI Film Festival (CIAIFF) 2024. Some catalogues file it under horror, mystery and drama, though, and the creator doesn't say whether the events and interviewees are real. The AI tools aren't named either.

Who it's for:viewers who like mockumentaries, suspense and "classified files" stories.

Before you watch: the film is on YouTube, about 9 minutes 31 seconds, and festival partner catalogues point to the creator's YouTube channel; we haven't directly verified the uploader or whether it's complete. Spoken language and subtitles aren't stated. We haven't seen the film.
