As artificial intelligence becomes more closely intertwined with cinematic creative practice, this seminar foregrounds the role of AI in film development through The Script Eye, a new AI-driven platform for script coverage and professional story analysis, shaped with particular attention to the needs of the Arab film community. Drawing on established industry frameworks and the expertise of writers and consultants, the platform is designed to provide insight and development support for film projects at an early stage. With script analysis at its core, it also integrates industry-standard writing tools adapted for Arabic-language scripts, a project budget estimator, collaboration features, and community networking within a comprehensive development environment. The seminar will feature a presentation of the platform, followed by a Q&A and open discussion.
