Keywords: Generative Artificial Intelligence; Film Personalization; Ethics; User Modding.

Abstract:
Modding in the gaming industry has significantly expanded the longevity and value of digital games through user-driven creativity and customization. In contrast, the film industry has remained largely linear and non-interactive. With the emergence of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, new opportunities arise for dynamic and personalized film experiences. This conceptual paper explores the concept of Cinematic Modifications (textit{CineMods}), AI-enabled, user- or provider-generated modifications to movies. We draw parallels to game modding culture, examine the technical, ethical, legal, and commercial implications, and propose a framework for user studies to investigate the desirability and potential adoption of this concept.
