Entry rules for AI-made films

African AI Film Festival: tool disclosure

African AI Film Festival, whether entrants must say which tools they used: every entry lists the main AI tools and models and how AI was used. From 1 source page, read 2026-09-25; no maker pays to be listed.

List the main AI tools and models (Runway, Sora, Midjourney, ElevenLabs, etc.) and briefly describe how AI was used.

1Festivals with the same reading

AI Cinema Festival NYC, AI Film Festival Japan, Astana AI Film Festival, Bochnia International AI Film Festival, Chroma Awards and World AI Film Festival USA have this reading, “list the tools used”: 7 festivals in all.

The reading paraphrases the rules; the quote above is the organiser's own wording.

2What the rule means for an entrant

Keeping a record while working saves trouble at the end: which tool made which shot, which voice came from where, and which images were used as references. Several festivals can disqualify a film when the disclosure turns out to be incomplete.

3The making side of an entry

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

The final cut ends on an end card: your main image plus four lines — Brand, Product name, Tagline, Call to action. The first two are read from your photo and your brief; the tagline and call to action are written with the script.

SceneMixer, The End Card (read 2026-10-13)

Video is 16:9 landscape by default, with 9:16 vertical available; you set it once per project. Segments are typically 4 to 15 seconds, and some model tiers go to 30.
