AI Film Festivals & Open Calls
Where to send the films we dream with machines.
I make short films — seven to fifteen minutes of hand-drawn ink and AI animation, set in Atlas K, a universe I build one Fragment at a time. Lately I've begun sending them out into the world: to festivals, to competitions, to open calls.
But the AI film festival landscape is new and scattered — deadlines drift, festivals surface and quietly vanish, prize funds appear without warning. So I started keeping a register for my own submissions. This is that register, made public and refreshed every month. If it spares another artist an afternoon of hunting, it has done its work.
Two tiers, clearly marked — AI-Native festivals, and those carried by established institutions. Each call's status is calculated live from its deadline.

The Fragments
These are the films I'm submitting — the reason this register exists. Atlas K unfolds in Fragments: self-contained shorts, each its own strange weather. Here are the first two.
Submit a Festival
This index is only as good as its last pass. If you run an AI film festival — or you've found one that belongs here — send it over and it'll be weighed for the next monthly update. Two things make it easy: a link to the official submission page, and the current deadline.
[ Send a Festival ]A standing note: deadlines and entry details shift constantly, and festivals sometimes change or disappear between updates. Always confirm on a festival's own website before submitting. Treat this index as a compass — not a contract.
