On April 20, 2025 , during the 15th Beijing International Film Festival, a major future-oriented ceremony was held in Beijing - the AI ​​Future Film Research Institute was officially unveiled.

The unveiling ceremony marks the official launch of the research platform, and also marks a new milestone in China’s research and practice in the cross-field of “AI+film and television” .

Building a research and talent base for AI imaging Establishing a High Ground for AI Film Research and Talent

The AI ​​Future Film Research Institute is jointly promoted by many top international film and television and technology universities, industry experts and local governments, and is committed to building a multi-dimensional research platform that is oriented to the future and integrates “technology + art + education + industry” . The Institute will combine the cutting-edge forces of AI technology and film and television education at home and abroad to carry out system construction around the following key goals:

• Focus on the practical application of AI in film creativity, production, editing, synthesis and other aspects

• Build a research system for AI image creation and teaching, and form a high-quality closed-loop promotion of industry-university-research

• “AI+Image” standardized process establishment and achievement implementation to serve the upgrading of the film and television industry

• Cultivate international innovative talents with both technical thinking and artistic expression capabilities

International collaboration to create a smart film and television future

Global Synergy for the Future of Intelligent Filmmaking

As an innovative platform focusing on the forefront, the AI ​​Future Film Research Institute will explore the structural reconstruction power of AIGC (generative artificial intelligence) in film and television narratives through a cross-school, cross-regional and cross-disciplinary cooperation mechanism , and pilot practical projects such as AI-assisted directing, AI visual editing, and virtual character driving, providing the industry with technical tools, creative templates and talent support.

The institute will also carry out

Young creators experimental project support program

AI film and television course co-construction mechanism

Global Imaging AI Forum

“We will work on this series of projects and strive to become a bridge connecting the world’s intelligent imaging innovation forces.”

Fusion of science and art, nurturing the future

Technology and Art in Harmony, Creation and Education in Synergy

The establishment of the AI ​​Future Film Research Institute is not only a breakthrough in the integration of technology and art, but also provides a new methodology and tool system for future film creation . In this era driven by data and co-built by imagination, the institute will uphold the concept of “creativity as the foundation and technology as the wing” to build an open ecosystem for creators, researchers, and developers to participate together.
