Alan Jones, interview with the artistic director of the 24th Trieste Science+ Fiction Festival

FRED Film Radio - English Channel

The 24th already successful edition of Trieste Science+ Fiction Festival is reaching its end and Artistic Director Alan Jones has already many ideas for the 25th.

That’s how fast the creative and fantastic minds working at the Festival elaborate and program.

With AI being the main theme explored by the Festival through its events and more than 50 world, international and italian premieres, TS+F invited its audience to Brainstorm the MegaFuture with a diverse selection of hand-picked titles to provoke, amuse, shock, compel and entertain.

We might be heading towards a fourth industrial revolution, as the Festival poster designed by ZeroCalcare suggests but according to Alan Jones, we must not fear Artificial intelligence. “AI for me is just another tool for creatives to use”.

Science Fiction is the right genre to tackle big and important topics such as, besides AI, climate change. At the beginning of this 24th edition Alan Jones said and wrote: “From the rise of the machines and the fears surrounding AI to the threats of climate change and alien invasion in not just its extraterrestrial forms, the Trieste Science+Fiction Festival 2024 deliberately covers every hot button topic concerning humanity at this precise time in all our uncertain lives”.

The 24th Trieste Science + Fiction Festival kept all its promises and the audience massively responded.
