'Forest of Memories,' produced using AI technology, is a 4-minute and 15-second short fiction film. Set in the near future, it visually depicts the story of a man passing through a cave and returning to fragments of his past.

Professor Kim Jigon stated, "This semester, I have been working with students on AI video production as part of a major course, and it is very meaningful to have our work screened at an international film festival." He added, "I will continue to strive to provide students in the department with diverse experiences and opportunities through AI video production."

The Czech International AI Film Festival is emerging as an international film festival that highlights the creative potential and artistic expansion of AI-based video production.
