GenJam with Popcorn.co - Suite Dreams
Make a film where a hotel plays the lead.
Part of Warsaw Glitch, August 28 to 30, Palace of Culture and Science, Warsaw.
Warsaw Presidential Hotel is the tallest hotel in Warsaw. Heads of state, royalty and world figures have stayed in its Presidential Suite. For this GenJam, the building is your protagonist.
🎬 The brief
Create an original short film in which Warsaw Presidential Hotel plays the lead role. Make a music video, viral piece, narrative, documentary, animation, cyberpunk fantasy, comedy, or pure internet chaos. This is a creative filmmaking challenge, not a conventional hotel commercial.
