It reflects the rules published for the latest edition on the reading day.

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.

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 “AI Film Festival Japan”, this is what SceneMixer publishes about the film its pipeline hands over:

SceneMixer turns a novel into a watchable short-drama series in one pipeline: upload the novel (Chinese or English) → AI extracts characters, scenes, and an episode-by-episode structure → generates consistent character and scene art → writes storyboard scripts → renders video segment by segment (16:9 by default, 9:16 in one setting) → composites full episodes.

The music runs across the end card and comes to an end with the film.
