The thematic path of this first edition is a real "retrospective on the future", which we imagined suspended between theanalog and theartificial intelligence.
It begins with a reflection on the time of cinema, on the transformations it is undergoing and which we will eventually discover also concern our habits and our daily lives.
Starting from analog world of the film, from the artisan gesture, from the cinematographic material, from the light impressed on the celluloid we arrive at theartificial intelligence (AI) and the tools with which new generations are already experimenting with new ways of imagining and telling stories.
But if analog tools have given way (although not yet completely) first to digital ones and then to AI, could the same fate befall the entire creative process?
And what relationship does writing, which in cinema is the basis of plots and screenplays, already have and will have with AI?
Will the relationships themselves develop like in a visionary Asimov novel?
What are the points of view of the various generations, from the "digital natives" to the analogue ones, in a world where communication is increasingly dictated by the rhythms of the influencer?
And the same slow pace How can villages and territories full of history and beauty be preserved in an increasingly fast-paced reality that travels at the rate of hundreds of megabytes per second?
These are all open-ended questions that will require an equally open discussion: experts, authors, operators and above all young who are experimenting with AI as a possible creative language will meet to discuss, question, and exchange ideas without prejudice.
But be careful: this journey isn't intended to pit past and future against each other. Rather, it's about understanding how cinema can transform without losing its essence: that of being a tool for narrating the world, interpreting it, and imagining new ones. Because cinema isn't afraid of change; it transcends it and is a fundamental part of it.
