🎞️✨ The Division of Arts and Machine Creativity (AMC) joined hands with the Alliance Française de Hong Kong Jordan Centre on the evening of July 15, 2026, to present 10 splendid AI film works exploring the intersection of cinema and artificial intelligence.
From a hallucinating retelling of a child's epileptic episodes through the mother's perspective, to the themes of awakened AI and their liberation, and experimental storytelling styles through uncanny remixes of virtual and real-world footage, the audience enjoyed something of a small visual feast from a curated list of seven French AI Film submissions and three award-winning selections from the 2nd HKUST AI Film Festival, accompanied by an assortment of canapés and refreshments.
💬🌐 Following the screening, a live Zoom discussion was held with two of the AI filmmakers, Jules Blachier ("The Mechanical Selection") and Alphonse Marcel ("Georges"), both of whom offered great insights into their creative and technical processes. The conversation examined how AI was employed to recreate a variety of artistic styles, including the aesthetics of early cinema, while also addressing broader questions on whether AI filmmaking would eventually lean towards realism, or unlock new forms of imaginative expression for the world, bringing the evening to a thoughtful and inspiring close 🌙.
