Who was Here? is an experimental micro-historical documentary that delves into the processing of personal archives and testimonies assisted - during different stages of the production - by artificial intelligence tools and softwares. Having trained an AI program with transcribed interviews and archival material from her father’s childhood and adolescence—a period that coincided with the rise of the Greek military junta—the director starts a conversation with the language model, as she is looking for help in her attempt to fill the gaps and inconsistencies she has detected in her family history. The unpredictable turns in their dialogue will paint in an even clearer light the fragile nature of historical truth and highlight the new threats that this notion is facing in the post-human technological age. Who was Here?” is a film about memory, the transmission of generational trauma, and microhistorical narratives in the artificial intelligence era.
