The aim of the BAIFF (Burano Artificial Intelligence Film Festival) project is to showcase and celebrate the creative and innovative ways in which artificial intelligence is used in the film industry. The festival, to be held at Spazio Thetis from 15 to 19 October, presents films created using artificial intelligence, digital dramaturgy or those that explore the theme of AI itself. The festival aims to demonstrate how artificial intelligence and digital screenwriting can improve the creative process and lead to the creation of new and exciting forms of cinema. Using these technologies, filmmakers can access vast amounts of data and information, allowing them to develop more complex and engaging narratives that engage audiences in new ways. In addition, the festival offers filmmakers a platform to experiment with new techniques and approaches to filmmaking, opening up a new era of artistic expression and storytelling. In addition to presenting films that use artificial intelligence and digital scripting, the festival also presents films that explore the topic of AI itself. These films offer a unique perspective on the ethical and social implications of AI, as well as the challenges and opportunities that AI presents to the film industry and society as a whole. The festival provides a forum for filmmakers, artists and experts to participate in discussions and debates on these important topics, leading to a deeper understanding of the role of AI in our lives. BAIFF also aims to promote the ethical use of AI in film and encourages filmmakers to consider the potential social and cultural impacts of their work. Through a series of workshops and discussions, the festival provides a forum for industry professionals, academics and experts to discuss best practices and ethical considerations in the use of artificial intelligence and digital scripting in film. Overall, the BAIFF project aims to promote the use of artificial intelligence and digital scripting in cinema, to provide a platform for the development of new ideas and approaches to filmmaking, and to inspire a new generation of filmmakers to explore the potential of these technologies in their work. The festival is playing an important role in shaping the future of cinema, contributing to the advancement of technology and creativity and promoting a deeper understanding of the role of AI in our lives.
