AI in Documentary Practice — National Film School of Denmark (Copenhagen)

A seven-day lab for the Master of Film at the Netherlands Film Academy, working on the material students bring from the previous labs of the semester. The first three days are about analytic AI, the models that read what already exists without generating anything: transcription, shot breakdowns, searching hours of material by meaning and classifying large corpora under one’s own taxonomy. From day four the lab turns to image, video and voice generation, starting with how the models work and what to ask before choosing one, with a log of every generated asset and an ethics note by each student within the framework of the EU AI Act. The last day is for presentations and a group critique.

A session of the 'Dimarts de vídeo' series at Arts Santa Mònica (Barcelona) in which Anna Giralt Gris and Jorge Caballero present Artefacto —their research and production centre— and their expanded-cinema work with artificial intelligence. Under the motto 'I wanted to make a meme and ended up with a film essay', they explore the tension between rigorous artistic creation centred on AI and computational cinema and the pursuit of virality of our time. The session includes screenings of 'Membrana, volume I' —a film essay based on Jorge Carrión's novel— and '#', a generative video experiment.

An online session of the DocuPro programme at Docudays UA (Ukraine) with Anna Giralt Gris and Jorge Caballero, co-founders of Artefacto. Drawing on concrete case studies, they address what AI can bring to archive work, research, restoration, transcription and search; its use in pre-production and production —translation, subtitling, voice-over, dubbing—; and the legal and ethical stakes (rights, transparency, energy footprint). Followed by a Q&A.
