1Festivals with the same reading

African AI Film Festival, AI Film Festival Japan, AI for Good Film Festival, LifeArt AI Film Festival and Reply AI Film Festival have this reading, “any AI use counts”: 6 festivals in all.

It reflects the rules published for the latest edition on the reading day.

2What the rule means for an entrant

This is the rule that decides eligibility first. A film finished with conventional footage and a few generated shots fits a festival that asks for any AI use, but not one that asks for AI in every phase of production or for a film made on one platform.

For an entrant reading “K-Culture AI International Film Festival”, this is what SceneMixer publishes about the film its pipeline hands over:

Every episode is scored for you once its first shot is generated; the music is written for the episode and mixed in under the voices.
