Türkiye International AI Film Festival (1)

Festival start: 11 December 2024      Festival end: 14 December 2024

The International Artificial Intelligence Turkish Film Festival aims to contribute to the development of films with ethical, aesthetic and technical integrity in Turkey and the world, to create material and moral support for young producers and directors to produce new films, and to promote the country's cinema at home and abroad.

Today, artificial intelligence is creating a revolutionary transformation in the world of cinema and art. The contributions of artificial intelligence from filmmaking processes to script writing, visual effects to post-production stages enrich the technical and aesthetic dimensions of cinema. This festival is organized to highlight the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on cinema and to introduce the possibilities brought by this innovative technology to moviegoers and film professionals.

By showcasing how AI technologies are transforming the creative processes in cinema, we aim to support young and talented producers and directors to produce new and original works by utilizing these technologies. We also aim to raise awareness about the ethical use of these technologies and offer a visionary perspective on the future of the film industry.

The International Artificial Intelligence Turkish Film Festival will contribute to our country's cinema art reaching a wider audience in the international arena by examining the interaction between artificial intelligence and cinema in depth.
