Christina Leander directs an AI-generated promo for psych-rock band Sun Dial.The ten-minute narrative film combines two tracks from Sun Dial's 2016 album&nbsp;Made In The Machine.Unfolding across three interconnected timelines -&nbsp;1950, 1958 and 1974 - we follow Hugo, who&nbsp;has&nbsp;had a lifelong&nbsp;obsession with the sun, along with flashes of images he's never been able to understand.Surreal and mysterious, the AI visuals add an uncanny layer to the concept, and though&nbsp;its process and presentation will split viewers, it feels more considered than many AI videos out there at the moment.&nbsp;
