The Cinequest film festival in San Jose is celebrating its 35th edition with 250 films, emphasizing discovery and showcasing new technology, including AI. Cinequest has a legacy of embracing digital filmmaking and has partnered with MIT for an innovative program featuring short films on dance and movement. Co-founder Halfdan Hussey emphasized AI's potential in augmenting creativity, particularly in animation and visual effects, while noting its current limitations in voiceovers, a critical element of storytelling that remains best performed by humans.
Cinequest serves as a discovery bastion for both filmmakers and tech innovators, emphasizing the importance of new technologies in film and media today.
Cinequest was the first to showcase the digital filmmaking revolution, highlighting its commitment to innovation and providing a platform for emerging technologies.
Halfdan Hussey noted that while AI can enhance visual aspects of filmmaking, it still struggles with voiceovers, which remain a uniquely human element in storytelling.
The integration of AI in film is promising, especially in animation and special effects, opening new possibilities for creators in expressing their narratives.
