The Wolves

The Wolves, also billed as Wolf Pack and in Chinese as 狼群, is a feature-length AI film directed by the Chinese writer Bing He (冰河), who also works under the name NY-Binghe. It had its world premiere at the inaugural Silicon Valley AI Film Festival, held 10-11 January 2026 at the Rotunda of San Jose City Hall. Its runtime is not given on the pages read, and no public release or streaming page had been found when this was written (12 October 2026).

Bing He told The Stanford Daily that he has published about a dozen long-form fiction works in China, none yet adapted for screen, and that he credits generative AI as a way to turn his writing into audiovisual form. He said he does not use chatbots such as DeepSeek or ChatGPT to write scripts or sentences of his fiction. Xinhua reported in November 2025 that the film is adapted from a script he finished six years earlier, that several film companies had dropped the project as too costly, and that he now did most of the production alone with AI. In its account he said a single satisfying shot sometimes takes weeks of repeated prompt adjustment. No page read names the video models or tools used.

The festival's listing describes Bing He as a bestselling author with millions of copies sold, a director and visual artist, founder and CEO of Binghe AI Arts-Tech, and founder and chairman of Binghe Films Media, which focuses on industrialised production and global distribution of AI-generated films and series. In the same Xinhua piece he proposed the idea of a "dynamic film", an AI work that can keep being refined, and noted that AI tools still struggle with lighting logic, camera movement and character performance.

The festival, title-sponsored by Pollo AI, received more than 2,000 AI-generated film entries, and the festival's Luma page said the premiere was the first full-length AI feature it had hosted, after earlier shorts. Its schedule is inconsistent: a separate premiere ticket was listed for 3:30 PM on 10 January, while the 11 January programme lists a World Premiere of Wolf Pack, directed by Ice River, from 11:30 AM to 1:15 PM. A sponsored press release distributed through EIN Presswire says the film is widely regarded as the world's first feature-length AI film independently completed by a single creator, a characterisation that comes from the festival's side. Festival co-founder Cynthia (Heting) Jiang called it a new practical model for film production methods and creative paradigms. The film was not among the festival's announced award winners, which included White Night Lake (Grand Prix) and AI Revelation: Destruction (Jury Grand Award).
