Brief news summary

The 2024 Tribeca Festival is dedicating a section to AI-generated movies and will host Sora Shorts, a program featuring five original short films made using OpenAI's Sora AI model. This is the first time movies made with Sora will be screened at a major film festival. The filmmakers were given early access to Sora, but had to agree to the filmmaking terms negotiated with industry guilds. The films will be screened at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 15, followed by a panel discussion with the directors. Sora allows for longer videos, distinct camera moves, and the ability to view scenes from different perspectives, but lacks audio, restricts sex and violence, and lacks some surreal qualities of other AI models. OpenAI has been criticized by Tyler Perry for its impact on job loss and by Scarlett Johansson for allegedly using her voice without permission. The Tribeca Festival runs from June 5-16.

The 2024 Tribeca Festival is dedicating a section to AI-generated movies, featuring five original short films made using OpenAI's text-to-video AI model, Sora. Sora has not been released to the public yet, but five directors were given early access to the program and will screen their Sora-made movies at the festival. The filmmakers include Nikyatu Jusu, director of "Nanny, " Bonnie Discepolo, Ellie Foumbi, Reza Sixo Safai, and Michaela Ternasky-Holland. After the screening, there will be a panel discussion with all five filmmakers.

Sora is capable of creating videos of up to 60 seconds, allowing for distinct camera moves, background characters, and a sense of surroundings. However, it lacks audio and restrictions on explicit content. OpenAI has faced controversy recently, with Tyler Perry expressing concerns about potential job losses due to Sora's hyper-realistic image generation, and Scarlett Johansson accusing CEO Sam Altman of using a voice that sounds like hers in the ChatGPT model. The Tribeca Festival will run from June 5 to June 16.
