SONAR

This year, the fourth edition of the Free Zone festival’s Sonar program traditionally continues the examination of the boundaries in the contemporary film world, but this time not through the questioning of the film format itself and its modification in the digital age but through the research of a new, current topic — artificial intelligence. This year, our sonar also aims to examine the boundaries of film, this time with a view to the film industry’s future.
Artificial intelligence, or AI, is an increasingly present tool on all digital platforms, and its application has managed to find its place in the creative industry in a very short time. However, the ever-faster development of artificial intelligence tools raises many questions that, whether we like it or not, affect the development of modern visual media. Therefore, Sonar’s guests will be different creative people from the world of film and photography who will try to start a dialogue about the current application of AI and everything that may follow, opening a Pandora’s box that we often shy away from. From screenwriting to filmmaking and video effects, how much can (and should) we trust artificial intelligence?
