# BLUE BUDDHA

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

An intertwining emotional drama set inside a quiet London hotel where lonely strangers pass each other without ever truly meeting.

On one cold night, a simple mistake changes everything.

What begins as a final evening slowly transforms into an unexpected human connection — fragile, haunting, and deeply life-altering.

Blue Buddha is an AI emotional drama about human loneliness, coincidence, and the strange ways hope finds people who have already disappeared inside themselves.

Quietly devastating. Intimate. Unforgettable.
