One subject.
Every angle at once.

Independent film in London has always worked the same way. There isn't one scene here; there are dozens, each shooting on whatever it can get its hands on, each pointed in a different direction, all covering the same subject - the moving image - at once.

AI is just the newest tool in that pile. It sits next to the camera, the borrowed edit suite, and the favour called in from a friend who owes you one. We're not ranking it above or below anything else a filmmaker reaches for - we're interested in the finished shape: what a film looks like once it's passed through a dozen different tools and points of view and still holds together as one thing.

This is a festival for that shape - work that doesn't sit flat, made by people who didn't wait for one clean angle to become available before they started shooting.
