The third edition of the Reply AI Film Festival, which runs alongside the Venice Film Festival in September, has announced its 10 finalists and a jury led by Italian Oscar winner Gabriele Salvatores. The competing shorts, produced using artificial intelligence, explore subjects including the Ukraine War, life without sight, and an imaginary world where no children are born. The jury features Catherine Hardwicke, director of ‘Twilight,’ and Jed Weintrob, according to Deadline, while Variety reports that Rob Minkoff, director of ‘The Lion King,’ is also a juror. Salvatores heads the panel. All three are listed across the reports, with Weintrob and Minkoff both named as members. The finalists were unveiled Tuesday. The festival is a competitive event dedicated to AI-made shorts and returns for its award ceremony at the Venice Film Festival in September.
