Cinema 16, the Johnny Carson Center for Emerging Media Arts, and the UNL Grand Challenges Media and Information Literacy in the Age of Algorithms team are excited to co-host a one-day intensive AI filmmaking hackathon at the end of March. Creatives will offer up speculative visions of the future of truth, fiction, and generative media in the age of AI. The day will culminate with a dinner, guest speakers, and a film screening with awards.

No experience is necessary! Everyone is welcome: undergraduates, graduates, staff, and faculty across the university campus, from Emerging Media Arts to Computer Science, to English and Agriculture—including the greater Lincoln community. We will host several workshops leading up to the main event focused on sharing tools and techniques.

More information including this year’s theme and prompt will be released during the event on March 30th, 2024.
