This program uses film as a structured tool for analyzing:
natural systems
anomalies
human perception
Participants engage in:
guided observation
structured discussion
pattern identification
Each session produces:
insights
hypotheses
research discussions
Introduction to topic and NVAI lenses
Key research questions
Participant role assignment
Background concepts (natural systems, consciousness, anomalies)
Hypothesis framing
Guided observation with structured prompts
Observation → Interpretation → Hypothesis → Challenge
Facilitated discussion with prepared questions [8]
Key findings summary
NVAI Insight Report generation
