AIMF- Artificial Intelligence Media Festival (1)

Festival start: 05 September 2025      Festival end: 07 September 2025

AIMF (Artificial Intelligence Media Festival) is a premier international multi-media festival dedicated to showcasing film, music and art made with artificial intelligence or computer generated imagery. We spotlight the next generation of storytellers who use AI as a dynamic part of their creative process — from writing and animation to editing, scoring, and beyond.

Our festival celebrates the evolving relationship between human imagination and machine intelligence through a variety of diverse categories, including Narrative Films, Animation, Sci-Fi, Fantasy & Horror, Music Videos, Student Projects, Commercials, Trailers, Digital Art and more.

Whether you’re an emerging creator experimenting with AI tools or an established artist exploring new frontiers, AIMF offers a platform to share your voice, connect with a global creative community, and push the boundaries of what media can become.

AIMF — "The Future of storytelling. Today".
