The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into documentary filmmaking no longer functions merely as a technological add-on but signals a profound epistemological shift: the transition from singular authorship to algorithmic co-agency. This study, developed from a masterclass delivered as part of the Ex Oriente program at the Leipzig Institute of Documentary (2024), and extended through applied experiments in AI- assisted production, offers a critical framework for understanding how AI reconfigures each phase of the documentary pipeline—from pitching to post-production. Rather than evaluating tools like ChatGPT, MidJourney, ElevenLabs, Sora, Flux, and Largo.AI solely in terms of technical utility, this article conceptualizes them as cognitive and anticipatory interfaces within the narrative architecture of the documentary form. It interrogates the ethical, aesthetic, and structural implications of human-AI collaboration, especially within the economic constraints of independent productions and in relation to emerging norms of factual storytelling and credibility. Drawing on real-world applications—including the prototypical pitch Lost Fragments: Archives of War, the creation of a fully AI-generated promotional spot for the festival Our World: A Crisis of Meaning, and the algorithmic selection of the author’s own script by Largo. AI at the 2025 Marché du Film in Cannes—this study reconceptualizes AI as an epistemic partner. Rather than diminishing creativity, AI redistributes and refracts it through probabilistic, generative, and participatory processes. Ultimately, the article offers a transdisciplinary methodological map that positions AI not as a passive tool, but as an active narrative negotiator—one capable of reshaping documentary aesthetics, representational ethics, and future modes of authorship.

Les douze contributions de ce numéro de Laboratoire italien interrogent la mémoire du contre-sommet altermondialiste du G8 de Gênes en juillet 2001 vingt ans après sa répression féroce par la police italienne, en croisant les perspectives issues des sciences sociales, des études littéraires, de l’histoire orale, des études cinématographiques et des études visuelles.

The authors discuss the increased recognition by policymakers and the general public of the importance of science in our lives and examine the need for a science center or museum for the state of Maine.

Entretien avec le dramaturge africain américain Marcus Scott autour de la crise politique et raciale du théâtre américain. Mené par Skype le 4 septembre 2020.

Este artigo busca descrever e analisar a participação de artistas do Boi-bumbá Caprichoso na execução de uma das alegorias do item “Ritual Indígena”, intitulada “Enawenê-nawê: Yãkwa, a Favorável Sentença”, para o Festival Folclórico de Parintins de 2019. Aborda as reflexões dos profissionais de Parintins sobre o processo criativo, a partir de um pensamento a respeito do fazer artístico sob o ponto de vista da poética amazônica. Analisa o processo de conversão semiótica do Ritual citado, lançando luzes sobre a representação alegórica na arena. Por meio de impressões colhidas durante a execução, preparativos finais e efetiva apresentação no Bumbódromo, procura trazer aspectos do fazer alegórico a partir da observação do trabalho dos seus próprios criadores.
