The next evolution of cinema won’t just be watched; it will watch us. As AI, sensors, and emotional data enter storytelling, films can now react to our expressions, attention, and feelings in real time. This session explores how directors become designers of living stories that adapt to each viewer, blurring the line between creator, audience, and machine consciousness.
