short films by AI scriptwriters that can be experienced at this year’s film festival theme “Meta Cinema” and seminar events that explore how brain wave analysis can be used for video expression are introduced, Bessho said, “A film festival connects people together regardless of whether they are famous or unknown. Virtual space and avatars will make new possibilities for people to connect to talk about cinema.”

“people from all over the world can get together in such a virtual space and talk about how this film was,” she talked about the new form of the festival. We also had feedback from the participants what they thought of the DOOR ™ theater.
