Experience one-of-a-kind cinema exploring what happens when human filmmakers and generative AI confront the same creative challenge. The short films you will see are either human-produced or an AI-generated. But you will not be told until the end of the film.
The 2026 Human vs. AI Film Premiere will showcase the nominated short films, special selects, and other notable works from the 2026 Human vs. AI Film Festival. Presented through 4 distinct screening sessions: Joy & Sorrow, Intensity & Serenity, Love & Hate, and Desire & Disgust. A special package for all 4 screenings is available.
Each session explores a different dimension of human emotion, presenting stories shaped by opposing emotional forces without revealing whether each film was created by a human filmmaker or generative AI. This is essential the ultimate Turing Test of the movie industry.
Select screenings will be followed by filmmaker conversations, expert panels, audience discussions, or interactive festival activities exploring the future of cinema, creativity, and generative AI.
