The 15ο International Film Festival of Larissa in the spirit and the concerns of the times, he included the topic in his program. «Artificial intelligence in cinema», with the festival’s associate as the main speaker Giannis Yalamas.
Artificial intelligence can be continuously seen in new releases on the big screen, but its first appearance was in 1957! How did viewers feel back then when they watched «The Invisible Boy», and how familiar are viewers today with more recent examples like «Mission Impossible’s» Entity?;
It is possible that AI technology It became a “bubble” for cinema, but many times the seventh art has anticipated many current inventions, such as Kubrick’s Hal 9000, which inspired Apple’s Siri. We have now evolved as viewers from the point where Spielberg’s themes were considered Science Fiction, to the point where the scenarios in «Black Mirror» seem feasible! Will cinema inspire even more technological developments? And since people have already fallen in love with holograms, like Joaquin Phoenix in «Her,» how far away are we from other movie “prophecies” such as «Matrix» and «Terminator»?;
Even more examples, with discussion and plenty of food for thought are coming up. 15ο International Film Festival of Larissa from October 30 to November 5, 2023.
