AI Film Festival
Up to a dozen filmmakers screen trailers, short films, and music videos made with AI in the pipeline. Five minutes or less, on a real screen, in front of a real room.

The AI Film Festival& Hackathon Showcase
Three screening blocks. One room. Everything on the screen was made with AI in the pipeline — and everyone who made it is sitting in the audience.
Free to enter with any Summit pass. Grab a pass first.
Three blocks
Three ways onto the screen
Whether you arrive with a finished film or build one over the weekend, there's a slot with your name on it.
Video Hackathon Screenings
Every team that ships during the Saturday sprint screens their finished piece the same day. Same screen, same jury, no post-production week.
Up to 12 teams · 5 minutes each
App & Website Demo Day
The build track demos live — the app, the site, the automation. Judged on execution and on whether it actually runs.

How it's judged
Five criteria, equally weighted
Story
Does it land emotionally or narratively?
Craft & execution
Edit, sound, pacing, polish.
Use of AI
Inventive, intentional use of the tools.
Originality
Would we have seen this anywhere else?
Audience impact
Room reaction, rewatchability, shareability.
Winners are announced at the Victory Party Saturday night.
The rules
Short and non-negotiable
- Five minutes maximum, credits included. Hard cut, no exceptions.
- AI must be meaningfully in the pipeline — generation, edit, sound, or performance.
- Work completed after January 1, 2026. Premieres and prior releases are both welcome.
- You must hold or have cleared every right in the piece, music included.
- Free to enter, but the contact email has to match a paid Summit pass.
- Up to three active entries per person across all categories.
Submissions close once the blocks are full — earlier entries get earlier reviews.
Put your work on the big screen.
Entry is free with your pass and takes about five minutes. The hardest part is picking which cut to send.
