​OMNI CINEMA LAB Sydney is a monthly meetup for the AI curious : filmmakers, artists, creators, storytellers and technologists exploring generative AI in film, sound, image and video. All are welcome.

​OMNI CINEMA LAB is for those that are curious about new technologies and new forms of expression - and is an initiative of OMNI International AI Film Festival. We choose to explore technology and culture shifts with Open Eyes and with engaged dialogue.

​OMNI CINEMA LAB: NODE - will focus on some incredible AI creators and champions based here in Sydney:

• ​The fantastic Kate Armstrong-Smith will be talking about her company OTHELIA and how its powering screenplays and storytelling. How are these tools allowing stories to be told in different ways?

• ​Travis Rice and Aryeh Sternberg will talk about what OMNI is and where it's heading next: OMNI MATRIX.

​Program overview:

• ​Doors open and Networking 6:30

• ​This is a casual evening event in our favorite underground eclectic gathering space - enjoy a cold refreshment wine and meet others exploring at this edge of technology and visuals. Some short films may be shown.

​-Major Studios and creators in Australia, Bollywood and LA are already engaging, from independents through to industry legends like Alex Proyas, Darren Aronofsky, George Miller and James Cameron. As human creators, these tools are currently sitting along side other skills and crafts in conveying stories. Film evolved into digital, practical evolved into vfx, filmmaking has always evolved and this is another chapter in how moving image is being shared.

​The best way to understand what these tools enable is to come and experience the work firsthand.
