Mansha Totla, an Indian filmmaker, has achieved an incredible milestone by winning third place at the prestigious Reply AI Film Festival in Venice, Italy, for her groundbreaking short documentary, JINX. This recognition is a significant honor, as the festival celebrates innovative storytelling using AI technology and runs alongside the world-renowned Venice International Film Festival.

You might be wondering, what sets JINX apart from over 5,000 submissions from around the world? Well, it’s Mansha’s unique approach to blending history with cutting-edge AI technology that caught the jury’s attention. Her film tells the untold true story of Jinx Akerkar, a 90-year-old Holocaust escapee, diving deep into the fragility of life and the power of intuition.

For Mansha, this win is not just a personal achievement but a proud moment for India as she represented the country on this global platform. She expressed her emotions beautifully, stating, “This is a feeling that is hard to describe. I am delighted that my work has been recognized on the global stage and even more proud to represent our country at the festival. The win is a wonderful validation of all the hard work put in by my team.

As you might expect, her journey wasn’t easy. Using AI to recreate World War II footage required meticulous effort and a vision to push the boundaries of traditional cinema. Mansha’s goal was to craft a story that resonates with people on a soul level, leaving them with a positive, lingering feeling. And clearly, she succeeded.
