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.

3The making side of an entry

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

Seedance 2.0 (ByteDance's video model family) is one of the strongest engines for vertical short drama in 2026.

SceneMixer writes dialogue into the script analysis, assigns each line to a shot with a speaker and a short delivery note, and the video model performs it — picture and audio generated together, so the mouth forms that sentence in the language you chose.
