Hussein Dembel Sow
Hussein Dembel Sow is a Senegalese filmmaker, screenwriter, and visual artist exploring the intersection of cinema and artificial intelligence. With over 15 years of experience in character animation, he now uses AI as a storytelling medium—fine-tuning image models, generating cinematic worlds, and pushing the boundaries of visual narrative. Founder of Agence Cataracte, he is part of a new generation of African creators using emerging technologies to tell bold, culturally-rooted stories. For him, AI is not just a tool—it’s a new language for African cinema.
