Grimes is making her film debut in Gods Don’t Give Gifts, a sci-fi film billed as fully AI-generated and due in cinemas on 4 December. She voices Zayinth Alda, an aristocratic character who also carries her likeness.
Why it mattersThe film runs for around two hours. Its director, Zack London, has called it a “creative exercise” after criticism over its lack of human actors and animators, Mixmag reports. A cinema release makes this more than another AI-video experiment online. But “fully AI-generated” is a claim about how the film was made, not a verdict on what audiences will make of it.
Discuss: Is a feature film made entirely with AI a meaningful new form of filmmaking, or mainly a way to make the absence of human artists sound like the point?
