During the Tribeca Film Festival, ArtRepublic partnered with Cadillac to produce a short film and an intimate, multisensory event exploring the convergence of cinema, digital art, and emerging technology. The evening featured visionary short film screenings, a thought-provoking panel on AI’s role in artistic expression, and a salon-style reception—designed to spark dialogue among New York’s cultural vanguard. As Presenting Sponsor, the Tri-State Cadillac Dealer Group reinforced Cadillac’s legacy of innovation, bold ambition, and cultural leadership.
Screenings
The program opened with Love Again, an AI-generated short film by REO, a meditation on love in all its forms—romantic, platonic, parental, and self—set to an evocative track by Timbaland. It was followed by ArtRepublic Founder’s Film, directed by Joseph Cavallini, a poetic narrative on healing through art that traced Jessica Santiago’s journey from illness to creating ArtRepublic as a platform for digital art and societal wellbeing. Black Voyage, with cinematography by Cavallini, offered a cinematic portrait of Brooklyn photographer Lougè Delcy’s return to Kenya, capturing the strength, traditions, and spirit of the Maasai as he prepared for his first solo exhibition.
Panel Discussion
Leaders in art, film, technology and IP engaged in a dynamic conversation on AI as a creative collaborator, the evolution of storytelling in the digital age, and the cultural implications of machine-generated creativity.
Salon Reception
The evening culminated in a salon-style reception that fostered collaboration between artists, technologists, and cultural influencers.
The collaboration positioned Cadillac as a Modern Patron of contemporary culture at a globally recognized arts festival and highlighted the brand’s commitment to innovation, creativity, and technology. It created a platform for dialogue around the future of art and storytelling while illuminating ArtRepublic’s collective at the intersection of culture and emerging media.
