Why this film matters
Between Before and After is a two-person relationship drama: Kyoko and Nagao, bound, in Runway’s synopsis, by a shared void rather than love, until a final proposal is interrupted by reality. A generated film of this kind depends on sustained faces, glances and restraint across eight minutes rather than on spectacle.
Runway’s 2026 AI Festival gave it a Merit and hosts the full film.
