“TAIBALE, STORY OF A RESCUED CHILD ” BY GIANNI TORRES. 

AN INNOVATION IN THE DOCUMENTARY GENRE, DOCUMENTAI IS BORN.

We are excited to announce the production of the new documentary “Taibale, story of a rescued child” written and directed by Gianni Torres. 

“Taibale” represents a novelty in the cinematic landscape, introducing an innovative, hybrid genre, faithful in the telling of reality, defined by a new locution ‘DocumentAI,’ which merges traditional documentary storytelling with the potential of artificial intelligence. 

The project was developed through an international Italy/Brazil co-production with ALTRE PRODUZIONI and CASADEFORÇA PRODUÇÕES. 

Music by Vincenzo Abbracciante.

“Taibale, story of a rescued child” explores the present and future of documentary filmmaking by presenting a unique and profound vision of reality. A surprising and untold story that spans Belarus, Lithuania, Germany, Russia, Kazakhstan, Italy, Brazil, and Israel. A story of a Jewish child hidden, surrendered several times, devastated by the killing of her family by the Nazis but ultimately saved by the determination of a 16-year-old girl, her distant partisan relative. An innovative visual language to tell the story of past and current events that come together in the relentless strength of TAIBALE, an 84-year-old girl of Jewish descent, now recognized as one of the most active philanthropists in São Paulo, Brazil.

Through the use of advanced artificial intelligence technologies, documentary filmmaking offers a new and engaging perspective capable of capturing the audience's attention and stimulating reflection. The term “DocumentAI” was coined to describe a hybrid approach to documentary creation. Using artificial intelligence, “Taibale” integrates generative elements of animation and voices that enrich the narrative and offer an unprecedented visual experience. A documentary film about events that occurred during the Holocaust and how such devastating experiences were transformed into helping others. AI was employed for in the generation of stock footage using animations and reworkings, not only that, voices of missing protagonists, voiceovers, make “Taibale” not only a very modern documentary, but a journey through the potential of future technology.

“With 'Taibale,' we wanted to push the boundaries of traditional documentary filmmaking and explore new modes of storytelling. Artificial intelligence allowed us to create a richer and more layered narrative, offering audiences an experience that goes beyond a simple documentary. We are convinced that 'Taibale' not only sheds light on an incredible story hidden for decades, but also inspires and opens new horizons in the field of filmmaking,” said Gianni Torres.
