Hackathon Host: Borys Stokalski
Microsoft and Lenovo, in cooperation with the Film Spring Open Foundation, are organizing the Hackathon “Cinema Is Looking for a New Form. Find It.”
We are not looking for another AI tool. We are looking for a new form of cinema. Over the course of three days, working in teams of filmmakers and developers, we want to explore how artificial intelligence can change the relationship between the viewer and the story. We are looking for teams that will design and build prototypes of new forms of interaction between audiences and storytelling, using both local and cloud-based AI models.
We are aware that fully finished projects may not be completed within three days. That is why one of the most important goals of the Hackathon is not only to search for new ideas, but also to create interdisciplinary teams that will continue developing them after the event has ended.
