At the Cannes Film Festival, a collection of AI-generated short films inspired by erotic magazine photo spreads from 1976 was unveiled. Developed by Thomas Meier from the Norwegian company Multiformat, these films transform static images into full-motion videos complete with color, synchronized sound, dialogue, and voice-over. The films will be available for streaming on Cultpix, with a physical release on BluRay and a limited edition VHS from Klubb Super 8 to follow. Cultpix CEO Rickard Gramfors stated that the project aims to foster discussions about historical attitudes toward sexuality and imagery, noting how what was once considered shocking now appears innocent by contemporary standards. This initiative coincides with a growing academic interest in vintage erotica, as evidenced by events like Quentin Tarantino’s Eros season at New Beverly Cinema in Los Angeles and the Svenska Synden retrospective at the Swedish Film Institute. Cultpix, launched in April 2021, has established itself as the largest streaming platform for cult and genre films, including a curated selection of vintage erotica.
