STARNBERGER MERKUR REPORT. There’s a wonderful new report in the Munich Merkur (Starnberg Merkur) today about the award at the ROME INDEPENDENT FILM FESTIVAL for my short film ‘Transformation’, which was generated using artificial intelligence. The science fiction film received the prestigious RIFF Award in Rome in the category ‘Best Short International’. Many thanks to Tobias Gmach from the Starnberger Merkur for this detailed report. Excerpt: The Starnberg film music composer Marcel Barsotti is now riding on a wave of success as a film director. His AI-generated debut film ‘Transformation’ has already won five awards and has been nominated for many more. He has won in Boston, London, Vienna and Toronto. Most recently, he received the trophy for his film in the ‘Best Short International’ category at the Rome Independent Film Festival. In the jury’s laudation, the film was praised as a ‘true masterpiece of ‘innovation’ and ‘creativity’. The design is ‘captivating’ and ‘refined’, ‘the film inspires and stimulates the mind’.
