Our Mission

AI Film Festival Japan (AI-FJ) is the first international film festival in Japan dedicated to AI-assisted storytelling. We explore the creative frontier where human expression meets artificial intelligence, aiming to foster global dialogue, innovation, and inclusion.

Our Vision

We imagine a future where creators from all backgrounds – regardless of gender, nationality, or expertise – can collaborate with AI to produce powerful, diverse, and inclusive narratives. Our platform promotes not just technology, but the values and voices shaping tomorrow’s visual culture.

AI Film Festival Japan is a nonprofit film festival founded by filmmakers, AI researchers, and cultural leaders who share a passion for innovation and inclusion. Our mission is to unite creative minds in exploring the future of storytelling. We are driven by a belief in the power of story and in AI-human collaboration: our values embrace diversity, equity, and inclusion, and we view AI not as a replacement but as “a complementary force that augments creative vision.”

We are committed to fostering an equitable environment where filmmakers and audiences from all backgrounds feel welcome. Our team includes veteran directors, technologists, and cultural organizers dedicated to elevating underrepresented voices. By blending tradition with cutting-edge technology, we aim to create a global platform for storytelling that inspires, challenges, and connects communities
