A World Without Them
This film will be presented during the La Nuit du court event on March 22nd, 2025 at Concordia University.

This documentary explores the disappearance of archival images. The narrator examines their role, evolution, and the challenges threatening their survival. These images, an integral part of our visual culture, reflect both our stereotypes and our history. Today, they fuel artificial intelligence (AI) databases, which generate new images by transforming and integrating those from the past.
