Metanoia

2025 MIT AI Film Hackathon

Winner for Best Creative Usage of AI

Nomination for Best XR Film.

Metanoia takes place in a world where AI dominates, and people live behind digital masks, trapped in a flat, data-driven reality. The protagonist finds comfort only at home, the one place that still feels real. But as the digital world starts invading her sanctuary, she fights to break free. Her journey leads her through struggle, transformation, and ultimately, a dance that flows with raw emotion—standing in stark contrast to the rigid AI world. At its core, the film captures the spirit of "Dance in Life", where movement becomes a symbol of freedom, self-expression, and the unbreakable essence of being human.
