Artificial intelligence is already present in editing rooms, writing workshops, and newsrooms. It creates images, mimics voices, and recomposes archives. The We Are Human Festival places human beings at the center of the conversation: not to be for or against AI, but to question what we wish to preserve, pass on, and build.
Its first edition is dedicated to Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights." More than 2 100 films from over 140 countries responded to the call. Each work is accompanied by an Ethics Log, in which its author documents the tools used and the place of humans in the creative process.
On the program, four major conversations bringing together researchers, creators, media professionals, and tech leaders:
14h15 to 15h15 · Inside the Minds of Machines
15h30 to 16h30 · The War of Imaginaries: Media & Narratives
16h45 to 17h45 · Creating with the "Monster"?
18h00 to 19h00 · Artificial Power: Geopolitics & Human Rights
From 16h45 to 19h, the 22 films of the Official Selection, from 20 countries, are screened continuously, with free admission.
From 19h30 to 21h15, awards ceremony: Grand Prize, Screenplay Prize, and Ethics Prize, awarded by a jury including Daniel Khamdamov (ARTE), Déborah Papiernik (Ubisoft), Fatimah Hossaini (visual artist and photographer), Vincent Ravalec (writer, screenwriter, and director), and Yacine Aït Kaci (creator of Elyx, United Nations digital ambassador).
