1Festivals with the same reading

African AI Film Festival, AI Film Festival Japan, AI for Good Film Festival, K-Culture AI International Film Festival and LifeArt 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.

Inclusion rule. Every festival on the register, with or without a detailed page on this rule. Order. Alphabetical by festival name.

3Producing the entry with AI

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