Call for AI Filmmakers - CIAIFF 2025 is here!
The highly curated "Czech International AI Film Festival" returns with free submissions, and we want to see your best AI films made this year.
After 700+ submissions in 2024 from artists worldwide and an incredible audience response, our 3rd edition in 2025 will be even bigger and bolder. Last year’s curated selection amazed the public, and now we’re ready to surprise the audiences once again with some of the best AI films made in 2025.
📽️ CIAIFF 2025 Theme: Beyond the Lens
"While cameras only capture what’s in front of the lens, AI reveals what’s behind the artist’s mind, imagination, and dreams—and that’s something unique to this medium." — Odair Faléco, CIAIFF President & Award-Winning AI Filmmaker
We believe AI is a new medium enabling unimaginable ways to tell stories and discover new talents. Our goal is to celebrate this revolutionary approach, while curating the best films and artists experimenting with this tech. AI is democratizing filmmaking, contributing to a more plural future, and that's good for our society.
