SOFT PLAY I AI Short Film

Description: This AI short film by Ikenna Mokwe in partnership with Raindance Film Festival, reconstructs a memory that never had a camera pointed at it with an unnamed football pitch between tower blocks in Hackney where the whole estate turned up to play, balconies filled like stands, and two kinds of mums ran the sidelines. Shot in warm, grainy nostalgic tones that feel like a British Sunday in the 1980s, the film is more about the invisible infrastructure of community that holds a neighborhood together.
