Pathé Films Joins Banijay and French AI Company Genario as Partners of World AI Film Festival With a Jury Chaired by ‘Emilia Perez’ Co-Writer
Pathé has boarded the first edition of the World AI Film Festival as partners, alongside Banijay and Genario, the AI service aimed at screenwriters.
The festival will take place April 11-12 in the French Riviera, in Nice, and will bring together filmmakers such as Claude Lelouch who will chair the inaugural edition, and filmmaker-screenwriter Thomas Bidegain, who notably co-wrote Jacques Audiard’s “Emilia Perez” and will preside over the jury. The latter will be completed by Alexia Laroche-Joubert, the boss of Banijay France; filmmaker-producer Julie Gayet; business angel and founder of Allociné Jean-David Blanc; and journalist Éric Libiot. “With the Genario x Pathé Films Prize, we want to offer new talent the chance to be spotted, supported and promoted, while demonstrating that artificial intelligence, when used with respect for the rights of authors and their works, can be a formidable tool,” said Safaee.
