Trajnostna ustvarjalnost v digitalni dobi: slovenske organizacije in umetniki kot nosilci sprememb
updated 5 hours ago
Umetna inteligenca in nastajajoče tehnologije se razvijajo s svetlobno hitrostjo, njihov vpliv na ustvarjalne procese, kulturne ekosisteme in trg dela pa je težko predvideti. Po eni strani vzbujajo navdušenje nad svojo zmogljivostjo in možnostmi, ki jih odpirajo, po drugi številne skrbijo kompleksne negativne posledice, ki jih prinašata njihov razvoj in raba. Ker je UI že dodobra vdrla v kulturni prostor, so vprašanja, ki se pojavljajo o njeni vlogi v ustvarjalnih procesih, vse bolj pereča. Kako lahko podpre razvoj kulture in ustvarjalnosti, ne da bi pri tem ogrozila okolje, avtonomijo ustvarjalcev in kakovost življenja za vse? Kako zagotoviti, da bo njen vpliv pravičen in odgovoren? Da bo tehnologija podpirala človeka, ne pa ga nadomeščala?
International Film Festivals in Slovenia
updated 5 hours ago
International festivals share at least one thing in common, regardless of how different they are or how diverse the groups they target. Whatever their audience, they are designed and organised to create, in a specific place and at a specific time, a community to which they offer meaningful content, while also fostering inclusion and the well-being of every participant. These are spaces that enable shared moments between different people and ideas – spaces of coexistence and (inter)cultural exchange.
The same applies to film festivals, whether aimed primarily at film audiences or industry professionals, whether their programmes focus mainly on curated selections or competitive strands and whether they prioritise marketing, training or audience development. What role, then, do the most prominent film festivals in Slovenia play? Whom do they bring together and what kinds of communities do they create?
