About the Film and Transmedia Storytelling with AI programme

  • Language:

    The programme is taught in English.

    The course:

    Embracing new workflows and skills

    The creative industries are experiencing rapid transformation with the adoption of new workflows, particularly supported by Generative AI tools. Many who experiment with AI tools initially marvel at their potential, only to quickly realize the complexity of eliciting precise outputs. Some of the classic concepts in artistic creation, such as control versus randomness, come sharply into focus when working with AI. The art of effective communication with AI tools, creating co-intelligence, is vital. Creatives need to develop a new approach to creativity—a new mindset—in order to fully exploit these new opportunities. This transformation is what the course aims to facilitate. 

    Building knowledge of new ways to produce

    The course will introduce new methods and theories that will prepare you for how films will be produced in the future. These skills will set you apart in a competitive market post-programme. A significant portion of the teaching and supervision will be delivered by industry professionals.

    Exploring the intersection of AI and emerging technologies

    The FilmAI programme extends an invitation to students with an interest in Virtual Production (VP) and Extended Reality (XR) technologies to explore their potential. With our MiXR Lab facility, students can choose to delve deeper into their preferred technology, combining AI with live-video-recordings to execute compelling projects.

    Engage in a creative learning environment

    Students participate in all lectures and work on their projects within the programme’s dedicated creative workshop classroom. With 24-hour access to professional equipment, students can fully bring their creative ideas to life. The workshop classroom includes digital production facilities, workspaces, a small kitchen, and a lounge area, fostering a warm and friendly atmosphere. Our exchange students typically develop a deep affection for our international semesters - we hope you will, too.
