The first Reply competition connecting AI talents with the global cinematic industry.
The idea
The Reply AI Film Festival is an international competition where AI represents an innovative component of creative storytelling and involves the younger generation in the production of videos and films.
The theme of the first Reply AI Film Festival, “Synthetic Stories, Human Hearts”, celebrates the encounter between human talent and artificial intelligence, merging art, creativity and technology. The goal is to show how AI can enrich the narrative, creating deep and meaningful stories.
The competition involved all creatives interested in exploring the possibilities offered by AI in the creation of scripts, storyboards, images, visual effects and much more, who submitted their original works, generated or improved through artificial intelligence tools.
Thanks to the collaboration with Mastercard, which has always been committed to connecting consumers with their passions and supporting emerging talents, the finalists have been invited to experience a unique opportunity in the Lagoon and participate in a Premiere Event, hosted by Reply and Mastercard, during the days of the 81st Venice International Film Festival. During this Premiere, their works have been showcased, and the three winners have been announced.
