Entry rules for AI-made films

Entry rules: eight rules, every festival

Choose a rule, running time for example, to see what every festival on the register says about it, with the words from its rules. Pages under a rule look at one festival closely. As of 2026-09-25.

Inside this registerEach of eight entry rules read across 25 AI film festivals and awards, with single-festival pages where the rule is detailed. It holds 8 pages.RegisterEntry rules8 pagesA pageOne rule, pair or question, from the rules read.A readingDocument, section, day read.
Fig. 1 Each page in the register links back here.

The rules run from whether a film qualifies, through whether it can be sent and when, to what the festival gives and takes once it is in.

A festival whose rules are silent on an item gets a row that says so, not an empty cell.

Cost of entry is the rule fewest festivals spell out on their own site.

Single-festival pages exist where the rule has enough in it to read on its own.

For a film already cut, start with running time and the AI rule; they rule films out soonest.

2The making side of an entry

For an entrant reading “Entry rules”, this is what SceneMixer publishes about the film its pipeline hands over:

Lip sync is the default: the picture stays frame for frame, every line is voiced again and the mouths are moved to match; the original ambience is dropped.

The new name is written everywhere the old one stood: storyboard lines, episode titles and summaries, the scene lists and already-parsed dialogue.
