Earlier this month, the AI Film Season of the Hainan International Film Festival closed with a bang. Sixteen award-winning films are now available on iQIYI’s AI Theater for global streaming. Soon, you can catch all the top picks on zaodian.quark.cn, too.
The Artificial Intelligence Artistic Innovation Alliance (AIAIA), established by Today Art Museum, brought 100 AI-driven films to life in a five-day exhibition in Sanya, Hainan. These works were chosen from over 2,500 submissions across 56 countries and regions, drawing more than 1,500 visitors—proof that AI is making waves in cinema.
Beyond screenings, the festival sparked conversations at three master classes covering narrative design, visual innovation, and music composition. Highlights included:
- 'The Three Gardens Game' – A surreal journey blending traditional folklore with AI-generated landscapes.
- 'The Greedy Nightmare' – A dark fantasy that pushed AI’s capacity for psychological storytelling.
- 'A Dog, a Son' – An emotional tale elevated by AI-crafted soundscapes.
- 'Chit' – A groundbreaking experimental film that redefines the limits of AI-made visuals.
As AI continues to evolve, filmmakers and audiences alike are exploring new frontiers. Whether you’re a tech enthusiast, a global citizen, or just curious about the future of film, these AI-powered works offer a glimpse of tomorrow’s cinema—now available at your fingertips.
