A roving cinematic hackathon. Traditional filmmakers paired with AI creatives across four global cities — from London to Cannes and beyond.
One theme, revealed live. Four weeks. A single short film that couldn't have existed a year ago. This is the next generation of cinema, built together.
One filmmaker + one AI creative. Matched at the city meet-up, or you bring your own partner. Chemistry matters as much as craft.
A single theme revealed live — the same for everyone in the city. One week of pre-production: script, storyboard, technical plan.
Two weeks to shoot, build, edit and deliver a 1–5 minute short. Real cameras, real AI tools, real constraints. One piece of cinema.
Films submitted. Industry jury. Winners screened at a major festival — Cannes, Tribeca, Venice, TIFF depending on the city.
Pick the lane that fits your craft. Both tracks collaborate on the same film — the judging categories are different. The cameras are the same.
For directors, writers, cinematographers, editors. You bring the vision; your AI partner brings the impossible.
For developers, AI engineers, creative technologists. Ship a novel tool that solves a real filmmaker problem on set.
Type a concept. A mock poster appears. No judgement, no API keys — just the vibe.
