MOONDANCE 2024 NEWS! A.I. is here to stay!
Artificial Intelligence has evolved, from merely an imaginary plot device in science-fiction movies and novels, to a vital part of our daily lives. With the emergence of A.I. in the 1950s, we have experienced incredible growth in its potential. Today, we are regularly using A.I.-based assistants, such as Siri and Alexa for interacting with our smart phones and other devices.
When you look around, you will notice that our society has changed rapidly by utilizing the benefits of A.I. in many day-to-day activities. The entertainment industry is already creatively utilizing the benefits of artificial intelligence, as are many other industries.
Moondance International Film Festival 2023 has enthusiastically joined the very exciting future of the world entertainment industry by adding a new, separate category for A.I. competition submissions:
A.I. SCREENPLAYS
Naturally, all screenplay submissions in the A.I. category, created in collaboration with any A.I. program, must be your original concept or idea, and must have a least 50% of the submitted work written and edited by you. Standard screenplay formatting, preferably by Final Draft@, is also required. The 100% NON-A.I. created screenplay submissions are considered & judged separately, of course. We eagerly look forward to reading the A.I. screenplays submitted! to the 2023 festival competition!
