The rules of the AI for Good Film Festival on the running time allowed: 1 to 10 minutes, completed between September 1, 2026 and May 1, 2027. From 1 source page, read 2026-09-25; no maker pays to be listed.
Films must have been completed between Sept 1, 2026, and May 1, 2027 , and should be 1 to 10 minutes long.
1 Billion AI Film Award, Bochnia International AI Film Festival, Chroma Awards, Human vs. AI Film Festival, Reply AI Film Festival, Runway AI Festival, Runway Gen:48 and World AI Film Festival have this reading, “a minimum and a maximum”: 9 festivals in all.
The reading paraphrases the rules; the quote above is the organiser's own wording.
Running time can rule out a finished AI film on its own. A 60-second cap, a 314-second cap and a three-minute minimum cannot all be met by one cut, so a film meant for several festivals may need more than one version.
For an entrant reading “AI for Good 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.
Length caps, dialogue grammar and the way a unit ends. Short drama forces explicit dialogue, a conflict in the first ten seconds and a hook at the close; film mode allows subtext and quiet endings and drops the per-unit cap.
