01 · The Myth

“Each morning, Eos rose from the river Oceanus and opened the gates of heaven for the sun.”

Every film begins in darkness, until the light comes in.

EOS Festival celebrates AI filmmaking as a new dawn: a Melbourne festival of AI, creativity and film, with competitions for AI-powered creators and finalist screenings in cinemas.
