The 2026 World A.I. Film Festival highlights a new era where artistic vision meets AI-powered creation. Each submitted Short Film, Feature Film, Micro Series, or Advertising must use at least three generative A.I. tools, including one for image creation. Hybrid live-action and AI films are welcome.
A production file explaining the use of AI tools is required for every submission. The selection committee will prioritize works where AI plays a creative and meaningful role, expanding storytelling and visual expression.
