Film Description:

The Legacy of Gilgamesh is a 56-minute epic concept film born from music. Reimagining the world’s oldest written story, it blends original composition, poetic narration, and AI-generated imagery into a symbolic journey through the seven deadly sins. Each chapter reflects one passion—gluttony, lust, envy, wrath, greed, sloth, and pride—mirrored in the encounters of Gilgamesh and Enkidu. At the heart of the narrative stands Humbaba, reimagined as a hidden narrator: a guardian and exile whose envy, loneliness, and sacrifice echo the struggles of humanity itself.

The visuals and voices were generated with artificial intelligence but carefully curated, sculpted, and refined to serve the symbolic and musical integrity of the work. The result is a hybrid of human craft and machine material—an exploration of myth, art, and the meaning crisis in the age of AI.
