These days, practically every technology employed artificial intelligence in some way, offering auto -seamless messages and outgoing people to auto -seamlessness from the Hud Pooj’s summary to the upper part of Google Search results. In Hollywood, the machine learning tools and the Generative AI have been folded together under the same umbrella, which makes the best photo -designated candidates more angry with the argument on audio toes. Brutal And Emilia PerezAnd the more practical anger than the authors are learning that they have scripts Are used to train AI screenwriting programs.
During all the conversations about the use of AI to comply directly, script, shoot, or just films, in the first AI -made short films Already hit the marketAnd a full-length AI-Infield feature recently debuted one of the most prominent festivals in the industry. This feature attracted a little notice outside the festival, and some reviews – but its existence feels more important than ever before AI technology and its use. The future is here, and it seems unusual.
‘What is next?’ Not just a title
In February, a film was presented at the 75th Berlin International Film Festival, which is fully made of AI-generated video clips. What’s ahead? Through Kavin Yavin, a film that is titled properly for a conversation that should be created. While you will be pressured to find critics who saw and reviewed the 72 -minute film (it has only 50 or more audience ratings. Litter boxed And imdbMost of which negative), of festivals Detail – Which clearly notes its artificial nature – he created a lot of interest that sold many screening.
Kao, a Chinese artist studying in Hong Kong and San Diego, was passionate about his process when we were sitting in the festival. He was proud of six straight days that he immediately pointed to the script in the script to prepare all three to four seconds of clips shown during the 72 minutes of the film.
I am On record As a skepticism about AI filmmaking, it should not be surprising that Cau and I did not look at the process as a whole. However, our humble chat illuminated the bright ideas that I had not previously calculated before, in the sense of why one could be attracted to creativity – if it could be understood at all.
At the same time, he exposed some thorny moral concerns. Generatito Ai Tolls are Has been closely examined Looking for a potential violation of copyright, looking at the methods they make “new” from existing images. Pull. Social media has already been filled with decent.Ai slopes“And Studio Unseen Knock OfficeWhich are easy enough to be dismissed because of anxiety. Any film created with image generators will be subject to similar moral debate. But the Kao and the festival’s programmers wanted to wash the question.
Does AI have just a new genre of movie?

Kao is firmly convinced that his work should be classified differently from traditional cinema. The director said, “I think people can accept AI as a new type of film, such as romance, thriller, or suspense.” The nature of the film’s AI is clear at first glance, looking at its extraordinary, high proportional digital images, with each curse and weird proportion. Point, partially, he is What’s ahead? Families of familiar images. It is a film made with new technology – but it is about to experience with tech, and also about the main reasons for its use.
Its story begins in an imaginary circle where the physical texture moves like LSD deception, and where the magical creature is rotating in the colors of the rainbow – a dream of infinite creativity. Film text titles (AI-generated) talk about a utopia that is affected by something affected by something, such as Janki, AI-Infinite Text. Then there is a series of eliminating close levels of devilish men and women, which reveals deep problems about gender violence and discrimination. They come in a glimpse of the springs of Western capitalism through pictures of American painting familiar with the statue of independence. These are all concerns on the mind of the Cau, when they face obstacles when they try to make films in an old -fashioned way.
However, the film’s themes of the film does not change the fact that it is unpleasant to see. The current limits of AI image generation make it feel repeatedly. The majority of its shots are short -pressed on various strange human faces, which works a lot to boost early curiosity, but already feels like a screen saver. The film tells its bare bones about the social fragility, then it seems that it feels like eternity. Perhaps it would be more suitable for the museum wall than a movie theater – but that would mean to rank art, which causes a major problem.
Photos of the COO, which warns the sensitivity of the world’s war, seems to have come out of an irreversible collective consciousness in the sky – but this is an artistic reading, no logistics (or legal). In fact, even if the average audience does not recognize the origin of each icon, digital data had to come from the Presustating Artwork, which is trained by generative software. – But whether Kao is aware of these sources, or worried about them, this is another matter.
Trusting tech or passing the deer?

Kio says she considers herself the author of all footage What’s ahead?Since the text is indicated by it. When asked if the similarities of his movie’s other works change this relationship, when it comes to large -scale tech companies, the CAO relies on the Silicon Valley: “In fact, I think that according to the policies of the recent AI company, they promise to create everything.” “But even in an extreme situation, if two people or even one hundred people end up using AI with one hundred short videos, they cannot organize it in the same story.”
In a separate interview, the Berlneel programmer Dr. Barbara Wurm – for section head Freely Curved Forum Program – Polygon responded in length as to why the festival selected the film platform. “It seemed as if it was a very interesting point for the debate to use AI-infield images and series,” he said. His complete statement about artistic aesthetics and AI filmmaking conspiracies detects several different angles – you can read this full interview here.
But about the moral and legal concerns associated with it What’s ahead?He pushed the question back to Kao. “In the case of copyright, I have to admit, I am not an expert,” said Verm. “Just as we choose every other film, we can only rely on the confirmation when we are presented to a movie and then accepted-that all the rights related to all rights are being taken care of by production.”
The problem of CAO’s confidence in the tech parties – and the Wurm believes that the film beans already have a handle on any legal or ethical issue around their films – that is, in fact, what is, in fact. Come under legal fire To be trained at the work of current visual artists. This means a movie like What’s ahead? Copyright is a potential issue, which creators and festivals should be considered equally. Sorting the coming moral components is not just a problem for anyone else.
However, it is very easy to reduce the issues of AI image and video generation for legal question. The temptation to make films like this, whether curiosity, sluggish, or lack of resources, is spread out of these parameters. If the AI, who is trained in a safe matter, is suddenly legalized, moral debates about copying other people’s art and replacing human labor will still remain, as it exists as an example of human actors. Re -presented without their permission Or clearly replaced by image and video producing tools.
How can the AI democratic making device be

Kao’s theory about its process helps to illuminate some of the major problems in the hand. The CAO’s IT, all of this comes down to access, and the way the AI made it possible to make it itself. This allows him to sprinkle the gender and the obstacles around him that participate in the traditional movie making.
Kao recalls, “In 2018, I tried to use my money to make the suspended feature, but at that time, I was just starting.” “People did not want me to be a director. He said,” You are new. There are many risks. ” So I heard my producer’s suggestion, and allow a male director to instruct my script. Obese (Title Awkward enough On Toby), In which the CAO also played the screen.
For the CAO, various cultural expectations for men and women in China – with more emphasis on marriage for the latter – proved to be limited to it as an artist. Blood in the story of his concerns around these obstacles What’s ahead?Which he did after writing seven years and writing another “feminine suspension” movie, which has never been the result.
She says, “I found out that no one wants to invest in me.” “In their view, Oh, you don’t have a reputation, and you are just an early. You did not recite before. I am interested in how other people can have this opportunity for the first time. Unfortunately, I felt that they could have a family relationship (inside the industry), which I didn’t have. So I had to do everything myself.
Despite the hatred of AI cinema, it is difficult to sympathize with Kao’s reasoning, even if anyone likes a movie. What’s ahead? To be upright to be stolen. The difference is how people on both sides of the AI sides view the tech companies in charge. According to the CAO, they are freedmen who should closely monitor the moral violations of the future, which they look unaware (or not ready to admit). to Artists are tried on the runwayThose are the vicious rotations – the other side of the capitalist coin that prevents independent creators from the first of resources and opportunities, such as CAO.
Finally, the CAO wants to go back to traditional filmmaking with meat and blood actors with opportunity. She looks What’s ahead? As a “first paragraph” of a long cinema article, she plans to record in various films-both the same and direct action-which she hopes she will reach her “basic values” to her audience. These include its ideas about human isolation as well as human loneliness among gender. The latter lifer, she sees a language model like Chat GPT as a potential treatment. (She says her grandmother often talks Depressic.
Despite its commitment to this technology, and despite its insistence that even the AK -based images maintain its author, they maintain a humanitarian view of creativity. She says, “I think about the use of real actors, because it doesn’t matter if you use AI or traditional filmmaking, the story is the most basic thing.” “And that’s why humans can dominate Ai.” On this, at least, we agree.
