In the programme
Press conference
The festival press conference. The organisers and creators answer journalists on the programme, on why this festival exists and on what will happen over three days. It is a place for media, but open to anyone who would rather hear questions answered directly than read a press release. A good entry point for people who want to understand how Warsaw Glitch differs from other AI events and why it sits where film, technology and the market meet.
- Why does this festival exist and who is it for?
- What exactly happens here over three days?
- How is Warsaw Glitch different from other AI events?
Who's on stage
Marta Solik
Creative Director · Founder · Curator · Poland
CEO and founder of Stereochromatic Solutions, where she works in creative direction built on generative AI, from workflows to workshops. Vice president of the Polish and Central European chapter of the EuropIA institute, curator and organiser of the Polish AI film showcase at the World AI Film Festival in Cannes, and a member of XR Polska. Her work runs from reconstructing archival photographs to a clothing collection designed with AI, a music video built on a generative workflow and hybrid productions that pair AI with traditional craft. Alongside that she is a creative partner to OpenArt AI, DFIRST AI and Caimera, heads Viewport Studio, and has sat on the jury of technology and innovation hackathons. Before all of it she ran AI adoption inside an events agency, mapping what each team actually struggled with and turning that into working uses of the tools, which is where her practical bent comes from. She works at the meeting point of generative AI, XR and audiovisual storytelling.

Dominika Aurelia Korycka
Artist · Filmmaker · Director · Poland
Visual artist and AI creator working where science, philosophy and art meet. She runs as a one-woman production house, taking a piece the whole way from concept to delivery, and she has made films in every register: traditional, hybrid and fully generative. Twice recognised by SAR, for the film The Better Worse and for photography. A finalist at the PixelRiot hackathon with Quantum Coherence in Photosynthesis, a selected artist for The Wrong Biennale 2025/26 with the hybrid film Cheat, a certified SHAIKE Creator and a GMI Cloud ambassador. Alongside her own work she has made spec ads and UGC for brands, worked under NDA on a feature film, and directed a generative microdrama for social media. Her work circles the partiality of human knowledge and our habit of grasping reality through abstraction: how we keep isolating and framing phenomena from one chosen perspective. She is also a photographer, painter and motion designer, and writes some Python. A world champion in AI video with the Polish national team at the GenJam Director's Cup.
Marta Mary Soltysiak

Before that she spent a year coordinating CG and VFX projects at the same studio, working between producers, project leads and artists. She has been taking freelance CG and VFX work since 2016, from short films to effects and 3D animation. Her academic work at PJAIT was on generative AI and what it opens up in filmmaking. She is a world champion in AI video with the Polish national team at the first GenJam Director's Cup.
