About This Film
Premiering at FESPACO, "Griots of the Cosmos" is a landmark film that uses AI generation end-to-end — but with human creative control at every stage. Diallo wrote the spoken-word narrative, directed the AI prompts as you would direct a cinematographer, and shaped a world where West African mythology extends to the stars.
