During the workshop, the goal of the group members’ work will be the creation of short audiovisual forms based on their own idea. The participants will be co-creating their work with AI systems at each step of the development and creation: from the script, through the production of intermediate assets, to the final work with sound design. Since the activity is intended to be co-creative, all elements of the work should be co-created or processed by AI, but their source can be both generated elements and elements produced or recorded in a traditional way (text, sound, static image and video).
During the Workshop, participants will learn in practice:
advanced ways of interacting with large language models (not only ChatGPT);
nuances of effective and controlled image generation (MidJourney, Flux 1, Adobe Firefly in Photoshop);
ways and tricks of using video generators (Gen-3, Luma, Kling, Krea);
ways to interact with TTS generators and music (Eleven Labs, Suno, Udio).
Ways to experiment together and explore untrodden paths of cooperation with Artificial Intelligence 
Selected projects will be presented on the big screen at the final screening during the Film Spring Open Workshop. I hope we will have fun together and hack AI without limits, expanding our human imagination.
See you at the Film Spring Open 2024!
To participate in the Artificial Intelligence Group in AV media, please sign up for the Film Spring Open Workshop, which will be held from 15-24.10.2024 in Krakow!
Jacek Nagłowski – philosopher by education, film producer and director, researcher and creator in the field of new media. He has produced nearly thirty documentaries and feature films, most of them international co-productions.

The company he co-founded, Circus Digitalis, develops 3D digital imaging solutions. Circus creates digital sets for feature films and documentaries, interactive applications and virtual reality experiences. The company has completed more than forty projects.
Since 2015, he has been working on virtual reality issues. Together with Milenia Fiedler and Iwona Pomianowska, he initiated a project to study the language of cinematic VR at the Film School in Łódź. Since 2018, together with Paulina Borkiewicz, he has been heading the VR/AR Studio of the Visual Narration Laboratory of the Łódź Film School (vnlab.org). The studio has produced 12 VR (cinematic and interactive) works by various artistic teams, with Nagłowski and Borkiewicz acting as tutors and creative producers. Three of the produced works have already had international premieres at Sundance, Angouleme and DokLeipzig. Within the studio, Nagłowski and Borkiewicz are simultaneously researching and describing the language of VR.
In 2019, he made the documentary experience ‘Whispers’ (producer, writer, co-director), which premiered at the Venice International Film Festival, was among the finalists of Cannes XR and won several awards at Polish and international VR festivals. In 2022, he completed work on the VR game ‘the Curator’ (producer, scriptwriter, creative and production supervision of the entire project) for the Adam Mickiewicz Institute presenting the history of Polish design.
He has been working on issues related to artificial intelligence since 2021. He is currently working on an interactive VR experience ‘Conversations’ co-created with various AI systems ranging from text, image, sound and space creation in the Unreal Engine. The experience thematises the possibilities of coexistence and relationships between humans and AI systems. He is also developing the project ‘Pathless AI – Survival Guides’, which aims to popularise knowledge about the social and psychological risks arising from the development and rapid spread of this technology. Initiator and member of the AI Working Group comprising representatives of the Institute of Psychology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Contemporary Culture of the University of Łódź and The Film School’s Visual Narratives Lab, which is tasked with identifying the dangers of artificial intelligence and trying to develop proposals to deal with these threats.
