Our festival program is designed to showcase the best in AI-enhanced cinema and to foster discussion about the future of film. Key components include:

• Screenings: A curated selection of feature and short films from Japan and around the world, all exploring themes of AI and creativity. From narrative dramas to experimental animations, we highlight diverse genres and formats.

• Panels & Discussions: Expert-led talks and Q&A sessions on topics like AI ethics in storytelling, new tools for filmmakers, and the impact of technology on art. Industry innovators and academic researchers will share insights and field questions from the audience.

• Award Ceremony: An evening gala where we honor outstanding achievements. Prizes will include Jury Awards for categories such as Best AI Film, Best Director, and an Audience Choice Award. Winners will receive recognition and cash prizes to support their next projects.

• Accessibility Initiatives: We strive to make the festival inclusive for all attendees. All screening venues are wheelchair accessible, and films will feature closed captioning and language support where possible. Our goal is to remove barriers so everyone can enjoy and engage with the program.
