Spring Session 2026
Around 100 filmmakers, artists, technologists and creative industry voices joined the AI Filmmakers Berlin Spring Session for an evening of screenings, conversations and exchange at Potsdamer Platz.
The programme brought together distinctly different works and creative approaches. The evening opened with Ben Chimoy’s When Is It Yours?, continuing the community’s conversation around authorship and ownership in AI filmmaking.
