Hello, talents!


We are excited to welcome you aboard UnHuman Shorts, a unique contest for short films created using AI. We believe that each of you is a storyteller who can change the world with your stories, and we are here to support you in that!


Life itself is a story. Every conversation with friends, every idea, every romantic encounter — everything longs to be told. The video format allows us to make our stories visual and understandable, while AI gives new life to this process.


We offer young talents in the fields of film and video the opportunity to express themselves using the tools of progress.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly opening new horizons, inviting you to create brighter, more impressive, and unique narratives.


Creativity is our priority. AI is not just a trendy tool; it is your partner in creating captivating video stories. It deepens your art and makes the realization of ideas easier and more accessible. The UnHuman Shorts competition is your platform to showcase how technology and creativity can work hand in hand.


We utilize AI to create:

Unique narratives. Forget traditional frameworks—we are opening doors to experimental formats that respond to the audience.

Collaboration between humans and machines. AI will be your co-author, helping to generate ideas and find new storytelling approaches.
Accessibility of technology. With the growing availability of AI, independent creators have the opportunity to realize any ideas, leading to a diversity of content.


We firmly believe that in today's world, art and self-expression are the rights of everyone. We are independent of any commercial organization, and we welcome works from authors anywhere in the world.

AI can be used to create unethical content, but we advocate for its creative application, which eases the labor and opens new possibilities for shaping contemporary art.


Join us!


With UnHuman Shorts, you can unlock new opportunities for yourself and future generations of filmmakers. Let's create, explore, and contribute to the world of cinema and video together. Open your hearts and minds to this adventure. Your stories are waiting!
