A film festival official said, “We will focus on the novelty of the story rather than simply whether generative AI was used in the evaluation,” and "We will give priority to works that are screened for the first time at our film festival".
Meanwhile, at the film festival held on October 25, in addition to the award ceremony and screening of the winning works, a specialist conference will be held on the topic of opportunities brought by generative AI in the field of content creation. The film festival preparation committee, which consists of Korean AI experts, is planning the event. The film festival preparation committee consists of Professor Kim Dae-Shik of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at KAIST, Director Kim Tae-Yong who directed the film <Wonderland(2024)>, <Late Autumn(2011)>, Director Han Sang-Ho who directed the AI-produced documentary <Great India>, aired on EBS(EBS is a Korean educational public broadcasting channel), and the choreographer Kim Hea-Yeon who combined AI and art.
