1Festivals with the same reading

Higgsfield Global Film Festival has this reading, “a minimum only”: 2 festivals in all.

Rules change between editions; check the organiser's page before entering.

2What the rule means for an entrant

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.

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

3What a generator hands an entrant

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

The lines are re-heard and written in the language your project is set to, and the finished episode is spoken by the voices attached to your own characters.

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.
