Photo library Topfoto (see their PAN listing) is continuing its push to remind image buyers to seek real images with the airing of their short documentary film ‘The Moment of Truth’ which has been selected to screen at the Crystal Palace Film Festival, London.
Directed by David Baksh and featuring the TopFoto archive, the film explores what the rapid rise of generative AI means for our collective visual history.
‘The race to safeguard our collective visual history against generative AI, will be won or lost in the next few months. “If we cannot trust what we’re seeing, then we can’t trust anything – and our sense of what is possible, unravels.” Flora Smith. The Topfoto Archive.’
The viewing will take place at the Everyman Cinema in Crystal Palace, Tuesday 11th March, 7:00pm.
Tickets are available directly from the Festival site here.
