Without doubt AI is the buzzword for the industry 2024 with new tools and AI film competitions popping out like mushrooms after the rain, and different platforms are staking out in competition for better and more photorealistic and lifelike results.

But with sometimes unfathomable seeming toolspace, yet to be solved workflows for professional feature films and television productions, and issues in consistency and quality many still wonder whether the AI craze is still all about hype and less substance.

The first session brings together one of the world's leading AI film directors and educators helming equally behind the physical and AI camera, and one of Europe's leading innovation driven documentary and feature length production houses to explore and demonstrate how AI tools can and cannot be integrated for success in the professional industry here and now. The session thus is a once in lifetime opportunity to hear from pioneers of the AI wave how to maximize and take benefit for AI in the independent industry whether for commercials, feature, documentary or other creative projects.
