FROM FEAR TO SUPERPOWER
June 5–7, 2026
ATM Virtual Studio, Wał Miedzeszyński 384, 03-994 Warszawa, Poland
We’re inviting you to Warsaw for a hands-on workshop in ATM Virtual Studio.
AI is changing every department in film.
Whether you work in the production, post, art department, costume, makeup, camera, or you’re a screenwriter or creative director - this weekend is for you!
Yes we want the film crew. This weekend is not for nerds only!
By the end of Sunday you will leave with key shots done by your team. We will walk you through a full demonstration of the AI-virtual hybrid production workflow applied directly to your script. Not theory. Hands on work with Gen-AI and Virtual Production workflows!

Apply with your AI & virtual production project idea or without. Collaborative teams will be built during the weekend. Film is a collective work and we keep it like this. Across the weekend, each team advances around a concept and leaves with a piece of real film material produced together and a knowledge of what are the next steps.
No team for the workshop? No problem. You are welcome to join one of them.
Participation fee: 180€ (incl. VAT)
