BY YOUR SIDE | An AI Short Film | Higgsfield Global Film Festival 2026

BY YOUR SIDE — A Post-Apocalyptic Short Film Paris has fallen silent. The streets are empty. Nature is taking the city back. And somewhere among the ruins, one municipal robot is still doing exactly what it was built to do. Clean the streets. Assist the citizens. Follow procedure. Then something begins following him. In a world where almost everyone is gone, how long does routine remain just routine? BY YOUR SIDE is a cinematic post-apocalyptic short film about a municipal service robot continuing its daily duties long after civilization has disappeared. What begins as a simple routine slowly becomes an unlikely companionship — even if one of them may never quite understand it. A small story about purpose, habit, absurdity, and having someone beside you at the end of the world. A THE BLUE HORIZON AI production. Created for the Higgsfield Global Film Festival 2026. Produced by The Blue Horizon AI Written & Directed by AVAREN #ByYourSide #TheBlueHorizonAI #ShortFilm #AIFilm #Higgsfield #HiggsfieldFilmFestival #PostApocalyptic #SciFiShortFilm #AICinema #Filmmaking #Cinematic
