‘About a Hero,’ AI-Driven Murder Mystery Inspired by Werner Herzog’s Films, Boarded by Film Constellation as Teaser Launches (EXCLUSIVE)


Film Constellation is launching international sales on 'About a Hero,' directed by Piotr Winiewicz, an AI-driven murder mystery set to open IDFA.

Winiewicz was inspired by a quote from Herzog himself stating: “A computer will not create a film as good as mine in 4,500 years.” The result is a fictional narrative that is ironically self-reflective, interlaced with a collection of interviews with artists, philosophers and scientists reflecting on the notion of originality, authenticity, immortality and soul in the age of AI. When a local factory worker named Dorem Clery dies under mysterious circumstances, the film’s narrator, Werner Herzog, travels to Getunkirchenburg to investigate his perplexing death. Fabien Westerhoff of Film Constellation said: “Following our collaboration with Werner Herzog on the hybrid docu-drama ‘Family Romance LLC,’ we were immediately compelled by Piotr’s bold vision to engage in a dialogue with the master, questioning established ideas about the ethical implications of AI in art.
