INDOCILI Screening Series Explores AI and Internet Culture in Cinema

The INDOCILI screening series, organized by Tafano and Cinema Beltrade, presented a program on March 17 focusing on the intersection of cinema, artificial intelligence, and internet culture. The event featured filmmakers Maria Bernardi and Carlo Galbiati, who discussed their works developed through the Nouvelle Bug residency. Bernardi views AI as an experimental tool for creative dialogue, while Galbiati sees it as offering limitless opportunities for independent filmmaking. Researcher Arianna Caserta provided broader context, noting that experimental cinema often finds more support in contemporary art than traditional film funding structures. The discussion examined how digital technologies are transforming cinematic practices and emotional representation in the post-internet era.
