People of Data  /  GenAI Club

Where generative AI stops being a novelty.

GenAI Club is the room for creators — filmmakers, content people, musicians, advertisers, designers and the fashion side of all of it. Not a tools demo. A craft community, where the work gets made, shown and argued about in public.

What happens here

Four things, every one of them public.

The club runs on a simple rule: you show the work. Every format below ends with creators putting something in front of a room rather than talking about what they might make.

Monthly

GenAI Nights

The regular gathering. Creators show what they made this month, and the tools that made it.

Annual

GenAI Festival

The year's work in one room — screenings, exhibitions and the people behind them.

Programme

AI Filmmaking Incubation

Training, mentorship and a finished film. The intro above is from this programme.

Two days

Hackathons

Generative video tools, a brief, and a cut you can screen by the end of the weekend.

The programme

A ladder, not a mailing list.

Somebody who turns up to their first GenAI Night curious should be able to finish the year with a film, a credit and a room that knows their name. Every format below is a rung on the same ladder.

Rung 01

Turn up

A GenAI Night is free and open. Watch what other people made this month and how they made it — the tools, the failures and the shot that took forty attempts.

Rung 02

Make something

Build-alongs and studio sessions with the studios in the room. You leave the session with a cut, not a set of notes about a cut.

Rung 03

Get incubated

The AI Filmmaking Incubation — structured training, a mentor, a brief and a deadline. This is where Egypt Eternal Voices takes its creators.

Rung 04

Get screened

The AI Film Festival and the GenAI Festival. The year’s work in front of a jury and a public audience, with the prize going to the story rather than the software.

GenAI Nights · #GenAI_Night

The line-up.

One night a month, one host studio or creator, and a room of people who actually make things. Night 01 is done; the rest of the season is programmed.

The room, in ninety seconds

Magdi Moussa on what People of Data is building and where GenAI Club sits inside it. Interview by StartupScene.

Btates Kids

Aziz Maraka

The first night. A working musician and creator on the craft behind the catalogue, and where generative tools sit inside a real production process.

Inside the studio

ByBagh Studio

One of our AI studio partners opens its pipeline — how a brief becomes a generative sequence, and the parts of the job that are still stubbornly human.

03
Programmed

Media, at speed

Amy Mowafi (MO4) × Magdi Moussa

What generative production does to a media house: what gets faster, what gets cheaper, and what a brand should never hand to a model.

04
Programmed

The craft night

Faces Studios × Danny

Close-up on execution — direction, continuity, sound and the finishing work that separates a demo reel from something you would put on a screen.

Who stands behind the club.

A creative community needs backers who make things themselves. These are ours — the studios, the platforms, the institutions and the one Egyptologist who took a generative-AI programme seriously before anyone else did.

Dr. Zahi Hawass
Special feature and believer

Dr. Zahi Hawass

Egypt's best-known archaeologist backed a generative-AI storytelling programme at a point when most people still thought the two words did not belong in the same sentence. Egypt Eternal Voices runs with him, and the standard he sets on historical accuracy is the reason the films are worth making at all.

Get in

Bring something you made.

Membership is free and curated. The only real entry requirement is that you make things — or that you are about to start.

AI For Everyone, Everywhere!

Not a slogan. A test we hold every programme to — if it only reaches Cairo, or only reaches people who already had a head start, we haven't done the work.
