Reimagine myth and timeless storytelling with fully generated visuals and sound

The festival’s “Myths Meet Machine” theme favors work that connects ancient narrative traditions with modern AI filmmaking. Live-action footage and non-AI visual assets are not accepted, so entrants should document their workflow and clear every music or third-party element.
