Story to Screen: AI Filmmaking

Have you ever wondered how storytelling transforms from words to dynamic visuals?

Join us on a hands-on journey into AI filmmaking, where literary language is brought to life as cinematic sequences. Along the way, we will critically examine how AI models can mirror and reinforce societal biases—for example, prompting an image of a "doctor" often yields a male figure. This workshop gives you the opportunity to challenge such gender stereotypes and empowers you to reshape narratives and express your perspectives through film.

[What You'll Learn]

In this workshop, you will gain practical skills in:

• Converting written narratives into visual instructions for AI

• Storyboarding, scriptwriting, and plot design

• Translating text into AI-generated video sequences and assembling engaging video clips
  
  

[Showcase Opportunity]

You will create a 1-minute video addressing gender stereotypes. Selected works will be featured in a showcase in late March or early April.

Don’t miss your chance to unlock the future of storytelling with artificial intelligence!
