A joint invitation from Veles Productions and the ToruńCAMERIMAGE International Film Festival: bring Kling into the room where cinematographers and directors decide how the next films are made — and set the professional standard before anyone else does.
Generative video is racing toward the mass consumer and the laptop screen — Runway, Sora. The professional craft of cinema, and Virtual Production, is still open ground. Whoever earns the trust of directors and cinematographers here defines the tool of the next decade of films.
ToruńCAMERIMAGE is where the future of film aesthetics is defined. Placed here, Kling is positioned as a professional instrument for the most demanding cinematographers — not another consumer app.
With Veles, Kling plugs into real film gear — LED volumes, cinema optics, camera tracking, Gaussian Splatting and real-time light control. Not clips on a screen: images that hold up in camera.
Put Kling in a cinematographer's hands at pre-visualisation and lighting, and it returns on their next budgeted film. That is how a tool becomes the standard — a habit, not a campaign.
After 33 editions, ToruńCAMERIMAGE is the world's most important festival of the art of cinematography. The 34th edition takes place in Toruń, 7–14 November 2026. This is the room where the people who set the visual standard of global film meet: recent guests include David Lynch, Quentin Tarantino, Keanu Reeves, Adam Driver, Kristen Stewart, Cate Blanchett, Alfonso Cuarón, Denis Villeneuve, Vittorio Storaro and Willem Dafoe.
The audience is not the public — it is the industry itself. Official festival numbers for the 2025 edition:
Alongside the programme runs Market Camerimage — the trade floor shared by ARRI, Sony, Zeiss, RED, Canon and Panavision. This is where the craft sets its standards: the room whose approval defines the professional tools of the next productions. It is exactly why the festival's sponsorship team has asked Veles to shape its AI partnerships for the 2026 edition.
Veles speaks in this room with credibility earned on its stage: at CAMERIMAGE 2025 we delivered one of the world's first festival keynotes on generative AI in the creative process — “The Light That Thinks” — and we advise the festival's ECF on its Virtual Production studio.
Veles builds long-form scripted content on Storyverse — our production platform for film and vertical formats. It rests on two proprietary technologies, and it runs on exactly the two families of models Kuaishou builds: video generation models and large language models.
Our Warsaw XR Lab — a 7.5 × 4 m curved LED wall with Ghost Frame, camera tracking, Gaussian Splatting, motion and performance capture — conditions the models live. Real optics and real acting drive the generation, not prompts. The model does not invent the shot; the set dictates to the model.
For every production, Catharsis builds a model of the film: world, characters, visual language, continuity — one source of truth per title, orchestrated by LLM agents. It keeps a 10-episode series coherent the way no prompt window ever could. The rule is hard: AI drafts, humans decide.
"Working with a real actor is extremely useful when you work with AI — because in both cases you cannot be super direct. I cannot tell an actor 'act scary'. The same happens with this machine."
One frame from NEXA, side by side. On the left, what the camera actually recorded on our grey LED volume. On the right, the same take in camera. The faces and the performance are identical — only the wardrobe and the world are generated.
The actor's likeness and expression are never altered. What you see is what they gave on set.
Costume and environment are built on the wall — the single thing the model is asked to create.
Synapse Stage™ — the LED volume that conditions and feeds precise prompting to the video models.
NEXA is an original sci-fi series — 10 × 45 minutes, created, written and directed by women, based on the Audioteka audiobook by Aleksandra Panisko — produced at Veles on the Storyverse pipeline. Every frame below comes from our production and look development work: real optics, real acting, models under the creator's control.
Traditional Chinese (繁體): goodbye · making of · pitch · original scene (no subtitles)
The qantyl — an alien life form of the NEXA universe — begins as Aleksandra Panisko's hand drawings. The models only render what the author has decided. That is the whole philosophy: AI drafts, humans decide.
A small, senior team that owns the work end to end — the same people from the first frame to final delivery. This is who Kuaishou partners with.
Creator of Storyverse and Synapse Stage. Sets the vision and leads the studio.
Producer of the Synapse Stage system and lead producer of NEXA.
AI developer and system architect; lead agentic engineer of the pipeline.
Head of Technology — the XR Lab, the capture stack and model integration.
Sponsorship here is not image spending — it is standard-setting, enterprise sales and market timing in one move.
1,604 film industry representatives and 728 cinematographers from 66 countries — the people who choose the tools for upcoming productions. One week in Toruń reaches more studio-grade decision-makers than a year of enterprise outreach, on the same trade floor as ARRI, Sony, Zeiss and RED.
Generative video is fighting for the consumer screen — Runway, Sora. No one owns professional film and Virtual Production yet. Win the trust of the world's leading image-makers here, and Kling becomes the category standard — an endorsement no benchmark or demo reel can buy.
13,000 publications, over a billion media contacts and ~$68 M of advertising equivalent value around a single edition. A Kuaishou partnership rides that wave with the festival's own credibility attached.
The festival puts Kling in front of the world's best cinematographers — direct expert feedback that tunes the models to real sets and real light. And NEXA already ships the proof: a finished scene running through the pipeline in Simplified and Traditional Chinese — a reference story reusable in enterprise sales worldwide.
A festival sponsorship and partnership designed and produced end-to-end by Veles, with Kuaishou's models at the centre. No abstract branding — a working pipeline, shown to the one audience that matters most in film.
This proposal deliberately contains no numbers — partnership scope and tiers are shaped together with the festival's sponsorship team. A 30-minute call is enough to map Kuaishou's goals onto the festival's possibilities.
