Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EXTENDED | Re-MIX
Q: What technologies and workflows were used to integrate AR with the paintings?
Filmmakers were trained via a workshop on using the AR app (Artverse) to align their animations with trigger images, and the app was developed to enable seamless viewing of the animations on tablets or personal devices.
EXTENDED | Re-MIX
Q: Could you describe how the Remix project came together and who was involved?
The Fantos Festival approached the Art Museum of Aarau to develop an animation-inclusive project, with Jan Lassik and Amélie Cochet coordinating the museum and festival sides to curate a broad, international Swiss set of filmmakers and techniques.
FABRICA | Faraz Fesharaki | Was hast du gestern geträumt, Parajanov?
Q: What did you dream last night?
The guest explains the introductory question in the context of bridging personal, intimate footage with larger political realities, signaling how memory and daily life intersect with history.
EXTENDED | Evelyn Kreutzer | AI and the Survival of Cinema
Q: What about the sound experiment in SORA—was sound considered as part of the AI-generated work, or was the focus mainly on visuals?
The discussion notes that sound was not central in the SORA demonstrations, which highlighted a broader issue of separate sound and image trajectories in early AI cinema, with expectations that sound collaboration will develop soon.
EXTENDED | Evelyn Kreutzer | AI and the Survival of Cinema
Q: How did you cast Paul Trillo for the roundtable, given the dual nature of AI as both an enthusiasm and a source of anxiety?
The guest explains that Trillo was chosen for his prolific use of generative AI in creating a new cinematic language, not merely for enthusiasm but for critical, experimental work that challenges traditional forms.
