In the organizer's words:
With the free use of ChatGPT since November 2022, the topic of artificial intelligence - until recently only discussed by experts - has now spread to all areas of life and is increasingly demanding an attitude from everyone. This year also saw the release of SORA from Open AI, a free tool for the artificial creation of films, which once again fueled the hype. What was previously only discussed as narrative speculation in science fiction films now appears to be not only possible, but feasible - if not yet perfect.
In this year's symposium, we want to see how far the technology has come and where the journey is heading with the ever faster developing generative AI. In five lectures, two workshop discussions from the field and a workshop with a video artist as well as six film programs, we will present the latest state of the art and discuss its opportunities, as well as comb through film history for AI motifs in the narrative.
The presentations at this year's Mannheim Film Symposium will cover a broad spectrum of AI in film production, film analysis and feature films, in line with the dialog between production and reception that we have been practicing for years. All lectures will be illustrated with film clips and images and discussed in panel discussions.
And of course we will also shed light on other topics with films that, with their fictional worlds, are projections of the fears and hopes regarding AI. Among these film programs, there are also two compilations with the latest short films that have already been created with the help of AI.
