How is artificial intelligence transforming filmmaking and what legal challenges does it bring? This exclusive webinar, will be led by Radek Wegrzyn, award-winning filmmaker, educator, and co-founder of Magical Realist, whose work bridges cinema, documentary, and AI-driven storytelling. A graduate of the Konrad Wolf University of Film and Television in Potsdam and winner of the Ernst-Lubitsch Award for Miss Holocaust Survivor (2023), Radek combines filmmaking with AI innovation to teach masterclasses across Europe and internationally.
The webinar will unfold across two sessions:
1. THE MEDIUM IS THE MESSAGE (October 6, 6pm - 8pm EAT on Zoom)
Exploring how the use and perception of AI is reshaping the way we think, write, and interact. We’ll look at both qualitative and quantitative perspectives: is AI homogenizing our thoughts? What happens when we accumulate “cognitive debt” and lose cognitive time under tension? And how do we navigate the conundrum of the generative vs. the generic?
2. AI IN STORY DEVELOPMENT (October 27, 4pm - 7pm EAT on Zoom)
Diving into practical use cases, setups, and workflows. Radek will discuss the art of prompting, compare different LLM “personalities,” and once again confront the generative vs. generic tension at the heart of AI-driven creativity.Whether you’re a writer, producer or filmmaker, this conversation is essential for anyone navigating the future of storytelling in the age of AI.
