Artefact AI Film Festival, Astana AI Film Festival and Bochnia International AI Film Festival have this reading, “a set minimum of AI use”: 4 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 “World AI Film Festival”, this is what SceneMixer publishes about the film its pipeline hands over:

Paste a scene or a short script and SceneMixer gives you a storyboard — numbered shots with framing and seconds — and then a moving version of each segment, which you can join into a rough cut of the scene.

You own the output — download finished episodes and publish to TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, or short-drama platforms.
