Bird Woman Series Screening & Panel

Join us for a special evening of storytelling, innovation, and conversation featuring a live panel discussion with the creators, filmmakers, technologists, and special guests behind the award-winning AI video-generated series Bird Woman: Sacajawea, followed by an in-person screening.

Inspired by true events, Bird Woman reimagines Sacajawea as a Native guide and shape-shifting superheroine navigating survival, identity, and transformation during the Lewis and Clark Expedition.

Before and after the screening, audience members will hear directly from the creative team about how emerging AI technologies are transforming independent filmmaking and historical storytelling.

The production combines human creativity with cutting-edge AI tools, including Runway, Midjourney, Morphic, Kling, Veo, Sora, and D-ID to enhance visuals, animate characters, upscale imagery, and create immersive cinematic experiences that would otherwise be difficult to achieve independently.

Panelists—including actors, filmmakers, editors, educators, and computer science innovators—will discuss:

• The future of AI-assisted filmmaking
• Ethical collaboration between artists and AI
• Native storytelling and historical authenticity
• Independent film innovation
• Interactive AI character chatbots and audience engagement
