We are proud to share that Canadian-Croatian Chamber of Commerce member Ruza Vrdoljak Licina is launching the first edition of Cinema Shift Festival on June 5 at Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema.

Cinema Shift Festival explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping filmmaking, authorship, and creative production through a curated evening of talks, short films, awards, and industry conversation. The festival has already been featured in the Toronto Star and brings together filmmakers, technologists, legal experts, students, and creative industry professionals for a timely conversation about the future of cinema.

As this is the inaugural edition, we invite our community to support Ruza and the Cinema Shift team by attending, sharing, or helping connect the festival with people who may be interested.
