Renzo Rosso documentary 'Be Brave' uses AI at Venice Film Festival

Venice Film Festival Renzo Rosso generative AI Diesel fashion documentary filmmaking

The documentary 'Be Brave', which explores the life of Diesel founder Renzo Rosso, premiered at the Venice Film Festival in the Venice Open section. Directed by Francesco Carrozzini and produced by Our Films, the project is noted for its extensive use of generative artificial intelligence as a core component of its visual storytelling and production.

The film uses AI to recreate historical periods of Rosso's life, including his childhood, for which no existing archival footage is available. This approach has sparked discussion regarding the role of AI in mainstream cinema, as filmmakers weigh the technology's potential as an artistic tool against concerns regarding its impact on creativity and employment in the entertainment industry.

Renzo Rosso, the founder of the OTB Group which includes brands such as Diesel, Jil Sander, and Maison Margiela, expressed support for the film's technological approach, noting his history of early adoption of new technologies.
