Talents Innovation Forum: Frames of the Future: A Dialogue Between the Editor’s Eye and the Algorithm
What happens when a seasoned film editor meets a technologist exploring the frontiers of AI video? Is there resistance? Maybe, but maybe not. This relaxed, on-stage conversation brings together two very different perspectives: one grounded in the time-honored craft of editing, the other shaped by innovation and code. Together, they will explore the balance between tradition and technology, and reflect on what is gained and what must be preserved as AI enters the editing room. Through recent examples, including the restoration of the Sarajevo Film Festival archives using the TensorPix platform, we will demonstrate how AI tools can support artistic vision, streamline workflows, and unlock new creative possibilities without compromising the essence of the original work.

Bartol Freskura
Stubborn, good-humored, and hard working - that’s how my friends and family describe me in a few words. After finishing my master's in computer science at Zagreb’s FER, I soon co-founded my first AI agency - Velebit AI with 4 other friends. While the agency work was interesting, I always wanted to build a software product that would help millions.
Started tinkering with the idea of a fully automated video and image quality enhancer, and that’s how TensorPix was born. Ever since then, I’ve been mastering the art of running a startup.
