The 9th Oslo Digital Cinema Conference returns November 21-23, 2025, with artificial intelligence emerging as the dominant theme across three days of technical presentations, masterclasses, and hands-on equipment demonstrations. Organized by IMAGO and Norway’s FNF cinematographer society, the biannual event brings working cinematographers face-to-face with industry leaders addressing how AI will reshape workflows, authorship rights, and the profession itself.
