The 2026 Sparknify Human vs. AI Film Festival is now open for submissions. Filmmakers and creators worldwide are invited to submit works that explore, challenge, and expand the language of cinema, whether realized through traditional filmmaking or generated with AI. At its core, the festival confronts a defining question for the future of storytelling: can machines truly shape human emotion, or do human directors still reach the heart in ways no algorithm can?

In this episode of Silicon Valley Spotlight, we feature David Leikam — a composer-improviser and sonic architect whose live performance on the Moog Rogue synthesizer explores the edges of modern improvisation through rich analog textures and raw emotion. Born with cerebral palsy, David’s physical and sensory experience shapes a deeply personal musical language. Largely self-taught, his work blends composition, performance, and sound design — turning limitation into innovation.
