# MICHELLE

AI-made. Made with AI, as its festival says: “The 2026 edition of the Artefact AI Film Festival — an international competition for short films made with generative AI, organised by Artefact with mk2.” ([its page](https://artefact-ai-film-festival.com/), read 2026-11-12).

By Tal Mor, as [Artefact AI Film Festival](https://artefact-ai-film-festival.com/gallery) names them.

In a deserted post-apocalyptic city, Michelle, a lone cybernetic dog, awakens and crosses paths with a mysterious robotic cat. Their tense encounter erupts into a relentless chase through abandoned streets, rooftops and decaying factories, pulling Michelle deeper into a world where instinct and technology have become inseparable.

As the pursuit intensifies, what begins as a simple confrontation gradually becomes something more - a journey through a future in which the boundaries between machine, animal and emotion are no longer clear.

Beneath its action and science-fiction setting, Michelle is ultimately a story about loyalty, companionship and connection - and about what might remain unchanged even in a world transformed by technology
