# A Tale Too Perfect

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 Yann Bertin and Sammy Peix, as [Artefact AI Film Festival](https://artefact-ai-film-festival.com/gallery) names them.

A narrator sets out to tell the perfect fairy tale: a brave knight, a prisoner princess and a terrible dragon. But dissatisfied with the clichés of the story, he keeps rewinding and rewriting his story, multiplying visual styles, changes in rhythm and absurd situations.

Little by little, his story escapes him. The characters seem to develop their own personality and the narrator discovers that he may not be as in control of his story as he thought.

A meta and poetic comedy about creation, the clichés of fairy tales and the impossibility of telling a perfectly mastered story.
