The innovative Korea AI International Film Festival K-AIFF is all set to swing its doors open at KINTEX in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, on October 25. The festival, which aims to celebrate films made using generative AI technology, is inviting entries from all around the globe with no limitations of nationality, gender, or age, until September 6.
Organized by Gyeonggi Content Agency and hosted by Gyeonggi-do, the film festival seeks to promote the creation of a diverse range of video content using AI technology. By setting its theme as "New Opportunities Presented by AI," the festival reinforces its commitment towards fostering innovation in the filmmaking industry.
The festival has announced four categories for the competition, namely, Narrative Contents, Documentary Contents, Arts & Culture Contents, and Free Format Contents. The grand prize for the festival stands at an impressive 20 million won, with total prize money rounding off at 81 million won. The competition promises exciting opportunities for participants and audiences alike.
Full HD videos of at least 90 seconds to 10 minutes, created using generative AI technology, can be submitted by midnight on September 6, 2024 (KST). Entries are accepted via email and the official film festival website, www.gcon.or.kr/eng/aiff.html.
According to an official of the festival, the focus will be on the novelty of story rather than simply the use of generative AI. The festival aims to prioritize works that will be screened for the first time. In addition to the award ceremony, attendees can also look forward to a specialist conference on opportunities generated by AI in content creation.
