2nd Annual BC + AI Film Festival
Last year, 250 of us gathered to watch creation costs drop from $200K to $100. We confronted IP theft, job displacement, and what happens when algorithmic randomness becomes your co-director.
We started with Indigenous ceremony because protocol matters more than profit. We screened six films that proved gatekeepers don't own creativity anymore.
Year two goes deeper.
Science fiction taught us to see this coming... from HAL's calculated gaze to Blindsight's consciousness paradoxes. Now we're living it.
Our curation blends intentional scouting with open submissions. Community drives everything.
Show up, contribute, challenge us.
Resistence is generative.
We build better through friction.
About BC + AI Ecosystem Association
BC + AI is the province-wide layer: a community-driven, nonprofit industry association built to create public-interest infrastructure for AI in British Columbia.
Not a corporate lobby. Not a think tank. A commons where meetups turn into working groups, prototypes turn into shared tools, and community values turn into governance.
