Black Høle

'Black Høle' is a short film powered by AI, offering a poignant reflection on the oppressive nature of the Taiwanese education system. In this film, we utilize a black-and-white, doodle-esque acrylic painting style created through the use of Midjourney AI and Runway ML to depict schools as confining prisons that stifle students' free thinking. 'Black Høle' delves into the relentless cycle of studying, exams, and cram schools, driven by parents' skewed beliefs in academic excellence and the toll it takes on students' well-being. This film satirizes the intensity of the director’s childhood while warning against the Taiwanese educational system, which prioritizes rote learning over critical thinking, ultimately leaving students ill-prepared for the challenges posed by the rise of AI and its impact on human intelligence.
