"A legend in the house" — that's how Kevin Friel introduced Mark Achbar, the co-director of the award-winning documentary The Corporation.
Mark and his longtime collaborator Sarah share two projects that bridge documentary tradition with AI experimentation:
• Using AI to animate Robert Del Tredici's nuclear photography — bringing 50-year-old photos to life with original interview audio
• His new film Romancing the Atom: humanity's addiction to existentially threatening technologies
• The origin story of World Psychedelics Day (WPD620) — founded in Canada, now pushing for UN recognition
• PSAs made with AI avatars in under 30 minutes
• How seasoned documentary filmmakers are learning to embrace AI as a storytelling tool
