Cinequest is embracing artificial intelligence in filmmaking by collaborating with the MIT AI Filmmaking Hackathon to screen eight AI-generated shorts themed 'Dance in Life'. Co-founder Halfdan Hussey emphasized the importance of technology in connecting artists with audiences, portraying AI as a tool for augmentation rather than a replacement for human creativity. In addition to showcasing innovative films, Cinequest will honor Gillian Anderson with the Maverick Spirit Award, highlighting the festival’s commitment to both modern technological advancements and traditional film artistry, such as their silent film presentation accompanied by live music.
"Technology as it meets the artists and audience is very important to us. It speaks to our location, Silicon Valley, ground central of AI,” said Cinequest co-founder Halfdan Hussey."},{
