Synopsis

The Sleight of the Machine, crafts an evocative meditation on illusion, technology, and the shifting nature of perception. Blurring the line between traditional sleight-of-hand and computational trickery, this AI-generated short film transforms the simple gestures of magic into an eerie allegory for our algorithmically mediated reality. Both mesmerizing and disquieting, the film distills the existential tension of our time—the seduction of technology, the erosion of truth, and the uncanny beauty of a world where reality is no longer a fixed construct, but a performance.
