CineLink Talks at Sarajevo Film Festival

We are back at CineLink Talks in Sarajevo! Join us for two sessions exploring different aspects of AI in documentary. The first session looks at the changing relationship between filmmakers and audiences. With the introduction and rapid development of generative AI where tools of disinformation are available to everyone, the question of what is real, reliable information has become more valid than ever. Most people cannot distinguish between deep fakes and real images and this technology is improving at high speed. Traditionally audiences have placed their trust in documentary film and journalism as the carriers of true, authentic, reliable stories. Audiences do not want to be manipulated. However, filmmakers too have an increasing choice of AI tools available not just to speed up processes, but to generate ideas, create images and audio. How can we ensure that audiences still trust documentary filmmakers in the age of AI? What kind of measures and procedures should be in place to ensure transparency and credibility? And is there something to be excited about for the audiences, like personalised content? Join us for a discussion on the changing relationship between filmmakers and their audience in the age of generative AI.

The second session looks at available tools for documentarians.
