# IMAGINE

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

IMAGINE follows K, a man determined to live forever. Through a brain implant, his memories and imagination become the foundation of a world he believes is his own. Alone in a magnificent seaside mansion, he clings to childhood possessions as proof that something remains real. But when a blue-haired figure from his past appears, his body and surroundings undergo disturbing transformations. Memories of friendship and loss resurface, blurring the boundary between the life he remembers and the reality he inhabits. As technology promises an existence beyond death, K’s imagined world reveals the fragile connections between memory, identity, and what it means to be alive.
