It Happened

The Dor Awards

The Wildest AI Film Awards in History.

The Dor Award trophies, gold between silver and bronze, on a marble stage before a red curtain: two figures in top hats holding a door between them.

What It Was

An AI film competition, run by the studio. It celebrated real creativity, the kind that never cared for approval, explanation, or rules.

Films ran one to three minutes, in any language with subtitles, and each one began with the Dor Awards intro. Every film was built on one of three themes.

Door
A literal door, a symbolic one, a portal, a choice.
Twins
Two of something, or someone.
Trophy
A trophy had to appear. What it meant was up to the filmmaker.
