From the Publicity Department of Xiangshan Committee, it has been learned that the China (Xiangshan) 30°N Science Fiction Film Festival will be held in Xiangshan from September 20th to 22nd, 2024. The Science Fiction Film Creation Camp starts recruitment today.
Science fiction films, which integrate science and technology with artistry to a high degree, are a genre of movies that keenly perceive the era and changes in technology. The China (Xiangshan) 30°N Science Fiction Film Week is a science fiction film-themed film festival platform launched after the establishment of the Science Fiction Film Work Committee of China Film Association.
Themed on “AI Co-existence Era to Embrace Youth and the Sea”, this year's Science Fiction Film Week is dedicated to cultivating filmmakers who are not afraid to imagine and create, using innovative technology to open up the future of film. With the goal of promoting the marketization and industrialization of science fiction films, the Film Week will focus the development of Chinese science fiction films on Xiangshan, fully mobilize the quality resources of domestic and international science fiction films, give play to the advantages of Xiangshan Film and Television City in the film and television industry, and promote the development of Chinese science fiction films and film and television industry in an innovative way.
It is worth mentioning that the imaginative Science Fiction Film Creation Camp launched recruitment on the same day. With the theme of Artificial Intelligence, the first science fiction film creation camp is deeply combined with the innovative application of artificial intelligence to explore new ideas for science fiction film creation and production, and non-production projects and projects in production that meet the relevant conditions can apply for participation. The registration of this science fiction film creation camp is not only free, but also will provide top expert tutors in science fiction films and AI as well as the support of shooting financial resources.
According to reports, the first science fiction film creation camp takes science fiction and pan-fantasy as the core types, encouraging young filmmakers to engage in more imaginative creation and dialogue with The Times, communicate with the audience and the market in a typed way, and explore with innovative film artistic expression. As the first film training camp to introduce AI technology worldwide, it integrates the latest technologies and products of AIGC, from text, graphics to video preview at different stages, to assist young directors in the creation of science fiction films with AI. At the same time, the final winning works of the Camp will be preferentially pushed to the science fiction unit of Golden Rooster Venture Capital.
It is understood that on the occasion of the launch of the science fiction film creation camp, the Science Fiction Film Industry Committee will also plan the launch of science fiction film screenings, and activities such as golden snail short film units, science fiction film theme salons, and master classes will be gathered in Xiangshan one after another.
