This research project by the Film Department at ECAL aims to assess the impact of artificial intelligence on cinema and film education.
Research project (2026) with Benoit Rossel
Artificial intelligence technologies are now playing an increasingly prominent role in discourse, as well as in the creation, production and distribution of works, and in film education. This recherche project therefore aims to shed light on the potential and challenges of these tools, in order to understand how to use them – or decide not to – in full awareness, and to explore critical perspectives or possible alternative models. Discussions will also address the ethical and environmental issues raised by their development.
