Synopsis
The film takes place in the year 2057. In a polluted city, a permaculture garden flourishes on the roof of a skyscraper, tended by a robot gardener and an elderly botanist. Appealing to all ages, the film speculates on the degraded state of the environment, nature, and the ecosystem in the future, but at the same time presents a utopian solarpunk vision and solutions to the environmental crisis.

The film takes place in the year 2057. In a polluted city, a permaculture garden flourishes on the roof of a skyscraper, tended by a robot gardener and an elderly botanist. Appealing to all ages, the film speculates on the degraded state of the environment, nature, and the ecosystem in the future, but at the same time presents a utopian solarpunk vision and solutions to the environmental crisis. It also brings into the equation a question of the impact artificial intelligence will have on our society, our daily lives, and our environment.
When animating, the filmmaker Nejc Trampuž explored the capabilities of the rapidly evolving tools of generative artificial intelligence. Those are shaking up the social and artistic realms and entering the field of film production and gaming. The AI tools were used to generate elements of animation and sound, as well as to write the story, script, and visual design of characters and scenes. Nejc Trampuž worked with artist and sound designer Tim Kropivšek to create the audio while Blaž Šef, an actor and interpreter, provided the voice.

Rooted in code is a film about artificial intelligence, made with the help of artificial intelligence. Of course, the author nevertheless demonstrates a great deal of knowledge of filmography in the project. The film is a dystopian animation set in the not-so-distant future and is a very realistic vision of our destiny. Will it really end up in the hands of artificial intelligence? The film proves that this is not necessarily a bad thing either.
The BBB Best Film Award (€1000) was awarded to Rooted in Code by Nejc Trampuž, Slovenia, a film of mixed technique, including artificial intelligence, with a stochastic mood, a great tool for environmental advocacy.
