Filmmaker Marc Isaacs and writer Adam Ganz have created a new film, "Synthetic Sincerity," which explores the intersection of documentary filmmaking and artificial intelligence. The film uses a fictional AI research laboratory to examine how authentic human emotions can be harvested from existing documentaries to create AI characters. Isaacs and Ganz employ a staged reality technique, where non-actors perform scripted scenarios, to delve into themes that traditional documentaries might not reach. This approach, inspired by Iranian cinema, challenges conventional documentary norms and critiques the current state of mainstream documentary production. AI
