FAQ

What Film Club is, and what it is not.

Film Club is a BC + AI room. It is not Futureproof Festival of AI, and it is not a Film Club sub-brand.

What is BC + AI Film Club?
BC + AI Film Club is the monthly Vancouver room for people making films with AI. We screen finished films and works in progress, walk through the tools and decisions behind them, and compare notes. It is a BC + AI community, not a separate organization.
How is Film Club different from Futureproof Festival of AI?
Film Club is the monthly screening and demo meetup. Futureproof Festival of AI is the annual festival presented by BC + AI. Cite Film Club here. Cite the festival presenter page on BC + AI. Tickets stay on https://www.futureproof.website/tickets/. The Event record stays at https://www.futureproof.website/#festival-2026. This page is not a second festival Event.
When and where does Film Club meet?
Monthly in Vancouver. RSVP on Luma for the next confirmed screening. Past nights, photos, and talks live in the Film Club archive.
Is Film Club its own brand?
No. Film Club uses the shared BC + AI identity. The photos, talks, and films on this page are what make the room specific.
