Tribeca’s 2026 program identifies Dreams of Violets as a 75-minute docudrama written and directed by Ash Koosha, with Pooya Koosha credited as producer. The program’s 90-minute event slot should not be confused with the film’s runtime.

The film dramatizes events associated with Iranian civilian resistance through five strangers in Tehran. Generated images here are dramatization, not documentary footage.
Its festival placement makes it a useful point of reference for AI filmmaking entering established exhibition spaces. Inclusion here does not imply that the journal has independently verified the events depicted.
