AI've Never Met Someone Like You

by Ella Altman

“AI've Never Met Someone Like You (Dir: Ella Altman, France, 20 min, 2024) is a film I wrote, directed, edited, composed the music and created the AI for. the AI was created out of material we shot during the shooting of the real scenes, creating a hybrid narrative. I've created more than 2500 videos to achieve the videos used at this film. symopsis: Hava and Jeanne, two actresses on a film set, are observed by an AI as they explore the initial stages of intimacy with each other. When Hava sees unexpected desires on the AI's monitor, she delves deeper. Tempting Jeanne to see themselves through the AI’s eyes, she encounters an unsettling echo of their interactions, blurring the lines between their reality and the AI's interpretation. me: Ella Altman, born in 1993 in Tel Aviv, Israel, and now based in France, is a director, writer, editor, musician, and performer. She began her career in radio as an editor, creating numerous artistic documentaries, which led her to organize her own provocative encounters and document them. Her films often explore intimate relationships between women, delving into the complexity of their realities while forming a new one within the film itself. During her fine arts studies, she directed her first film, The Holocaust Is Over Bitch, where she used documentary footage and her original music to reconnect with her Polish lover through the production of a song. Her second film, Arabian Nights, reflects a secret relationship with an Arab woman mourning the death of her Palestinian roommate. Her first-year project at Le Fresnoy, LOVER, is a musical fiction about a director who invites an actress to play her lover in a war film shot in Dunkirk. Altman wrote the script and original music, directed, acted, and edited the film, questioning the boundaries of their romance both inside and outside the film. note: i can share stills I have many, as well as parts of the script.”
