Thrilled to announce that A RAPARIGA QUE CAMINHAVA SOBRE A NEVE, by Bruno Carnide, has been recognized by the International Jury of the Chaktomuk Short Film Festival as a FINALIST.

A RAPARIGA QUE CAMINHAVA SOBRE A NEVE, aka The Girl who walked on Snow, is a short animated film made with artificial intelligence.

This beautiful short film is a Portuguese-Spanish production that premiered worldwide at the prestigious Drama International Short Film Festival in Greece. It is a qualifying event for the European Film Awards.

Director’s statement:

The Girl Who Walked on Snow” is a cinematic work that transcends the boundaries between the
artist and the machine, a unique and harmonious collaboration between human creativity and the
innovative potential of artificial intelligence.
In this distant place, we delve into the life of the saddest of girls, whose journey is portrayed through
34 animation shots generated by AI and carefully selected from over two thousand shots generated
through specific instructions to illustrate the narrative. We firmly believe that AI is not a threat to
artistic authenticity but a tool that enhances creative capabilities.
Behind the digital curtains, over several months of work, human artists played a crucial role in
directing, editing, compositing, coloring, and creating visual effects for the generated images, as well
as in all aspects that make this narrative unique, such as the script, soundtrack; and every element,
from narration, sound to graphic design, was meticulously crafted and created by humans.
“The Girl Who Walked on Snow” is not just a film; it is a testimony to the balance between
technological innovation and artistic expression. The title not only suggests the journey of our
protagonist but also highlights the path of AI alongside human creativity. We hope this work serves as
a source of inspiration and reflection on the collaborative potential between humans and machines.

Bruno Carnide is a filmmaker who has been nominated twice by the Portuguese Film Academy for the Sophia Awards.

Bruno Carnide is preparing a new project and will soon be giving us some great news.

Stay tuned!!
