Rewriting the Future: AI & Literature & Short Film Competition
Rewriting the Future: AI & Literature & Short Film Competition
The "Rewriting the Future" AI & Literature & Short Film Competition explores the revival of literary texts within the contemporary evolving visual ecosystem, positioning Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a transformative creative language.
In an era of rapid technological evolution, the Competition seeks to pioneer new intersections between literature and the moving image. Our goal is to provide a framework where narrative, poeticism, and lived experience could be reconstructed, expanded, and challenged through visual landscape.
The Competition welcomes creators from diverse backgrounds and encourages open, experimental approaches to text and image, emphasizing AI as a means of creative exploration rather than an end in itself.
Guided by the principles of transparency, fairness, and impartiality, the Competition is supported by a professional and visionary jury process. We are dedicated to establishing a forward-looking platform for creative practice—one that amplifies new voices, fosters innovative storytelling, and ensures that literature continues to resonate and shine within the future of moving images.
