Featured Winners
International AI Awards — Triple Gold Winner in Best AI Application, Best AI Creation, and Best AI Innovation: Inside Ardamata: The Anatomy of a Massacre - A film by Sara Creta with Clémence Plénet and Nicolas Mioux-Riton (u2p050g), for Channel 4 News
"Inside Ardamata: Anatomy of a Massacre is a forensic and immersive investigation into the genocide unfolding in Darfur. Produced for Channel 4 with French creative studio U2P050, the project reconstructs the erased landscape of Ardamata, a town in West Darfur where more than one thousand civilians were killed in a single day. The investigation draws on over fifteen hours of survivor testimony, fifty videos filmed by the perpetrators (the RSF), and material gathered on the ground after the massacre. It responds to conditions in which mainstream journalism cannot operate: access is blocked, evidence is systematically deleted, and survivors are forced into exile.
