If the GenAI era in the film industry were a movie, what would its story be?
The Logline Project is a public exhibition of original movie posters designed by Toronto artists known for their work with the Revue Cinema and Paradise Theatre, bringing to life screenwriters’ speculative micro-narratives on filmmaking in the age of GenAI. Blending research, storytelling, and visual art, the exhibition explores possible futures of film and television work, inviting audiences to reflect on what is at stake for creative workers in an era of rapid technological change.
We invite you to visit the exhibition and share your reflections. Follow along and tag us on instagram @theloglineproject.
