A new film festival will explore how AI is reshaping the way filmmakers imagine, produce and edit film. In its inaugural year, the Atlanta International AI Film Festival — launched by University of Georgia alumna, indie filmmaker and actor Natalia Gonzalez — will gather creators and the curious public to attend screenings, workshops, speakers and a networking mixer. MODEx Studio in Buckhead will host the event on Saturday, March 22.
The lineup of speakers includes Verena Puhm, a filmmaker and producer for CNN, BBC and Netflix who was recently recognized as a notable AI artist by Forbes after a music video she co-directed was a finalist in Project Odyssey, a cinematic AI competition. Five AI artists collaborated on the music video, which utilized a broad range of AI tools to create imaginative imagery: flamingos wear pink-winged tuxedos, floating feathers morph into vortexes and a pair of heart-shaped glasses orbit in outer space.
