Hurd also suggested the progress of the #MeToo movement was on hold.
Renowned US producer Gale Anne Hurd, whose credits include The Terminator, Aliens, Armageddon and TV series The Walking Dead has expressed concerns over the influence of artificial intelligence in the creative industries, suggesting “generative AI is designed to put us out of business.”

Artificial Intelligence will be fully integrated into the production process within five years, offering new creative opportunities while endangering the future of creative jobs, according to the latest edition of the Goteborg Film Festival’s Nostradamus report.
The tenth annual report, traditionally released at the Swedish festival in January, launched for the second time today in Cannes. The report charts the near future of the audiovisual industry through interviews with experts and analysis by author Johanna Koljonen. This year’s report is titled Nostradamus Report: Everything Changing All At Once.
The headline finding presented in the report is the speed with which experts expect AI to be fully integrated into the film and TV production process. The report predicts that full integration will occur within 3-5 years and will: “unlock resources and creative capacity.” However, for the industry as a whole, “jobs will start disappearing, and most of them will change.

On May 17, as bodies lined up in the rain outside the Cannes Film Festival Palais for the chance to watch a short film directed by Pedro Almodóvar, an auteur known most of all for his humanism, a different kind of gathering was underway below the theater. Inside the Marché, a panel of technologists convened to tell an audience of film professionals how they might deploy artificial intelligence for creating scripts, characters, videos, voices and graphics.
The ideas discussed at the Cannes Next panel “AI Apocalypse or Revolution? Rethinking Creativity, Content and Cinema in the Age of Artificial Intelligence” make the scene of the Almodóvar crowd seem almost poignant, like seeing a species blissfully ignorant of their own coming extinction, dinosaurs contentedly chewing on their dinners 10 minutes before the asteroid hits.
“The only people who should be afraid are the ones who aren’t going to use these tools,” said panelist Sander Saar,...

Five years ago, the Finnish Film Affair launched the first edition of its Nordic Flair training program, an initiative designed to offer career development for film professionals from across the Nordic region that takes place parallel to the Helsinki International Film Festival — Love & Anarchy.
This year’s event focuses on sales agents, distributors, buyers and broadcast commissioners working in one or more of the Nordic countries and is designed to offer participants the tools to innovate new sales and distribution models, scout emerging Nordic filmmaking talent and lead their professional teams through challenging times.
“There are many Nordic talents working internationally behind the scenes in the business of film, and with the focus this year, we want to highlight that,” says Finnish Film Affair director Maria Pirkklainen, noting that “training opportunities have been scarce for this group in general.”

Once again this year, the Cannes Marché du Film, which is running entirely online from 22-26 June, is exploring the future of the industry through Cannes Next. The inaugural discussion for this year pondered the subject “Empowering the Film Industry with Tech: The Potential of a European Film Registry”, and Sten Saluveer, the head of Next, welcomed the guests and the panellists. The presentation started with film producer and software entrepreneur Alan Milligan, who introduced some facts and figures related to the revenue streams in cinema today. The two main sources – the “traditional” theatrical release, which brings glocal box-office income and exposure, and limited-budget TV broadcasting – are now competing with the newest players, the streaming platforms, which for their part act as gatekeepers...

Virtual reality, live cinema, Instagram Stories and new forms of storytelling will take center stage at the Transilvania Intl. Film Festival during infiniTIFF, an eight-day exploration of how technology is reshaping the way we create and share our stories.
For its sophomore edition, infiniTIFF returns with a slate of screenings, workshops, and a full-day summit dedicated to “people who are actively shaping the future of this industry,” says curator Erwin M. Schmidt, founder of new film technologies company Cinemathon, and of a co-working space for film and tech entrepreneurs and creators, The FilmTech Office.
Two years ago, organizers approached long-time collaborator Schmidt about ways to “expand the profile” of the Transilvania film fest, long a champion of the off-beat and avant garde. The spotlight on new and innovative technologies was a natural complement for a festival accustomed to sharing “great stories on the big screen,” says Schmidt, while highlighting the...
