Brand Story

When the precise logic of algorithms converges with human intuition in light and shadow, the boundaries of visual storytelling are being redefined like never before. In 2027 year 5 month, the Asia AIGC International Film Festival will kick off grandly in Macau, China, a cultural hub renowned for its heritage. As a forward-looking and tech-savvy international film event in Asia, this year's festival officially launches an "AIGC Film Exclusive Track," now open to global submissions.

This track aims to break down traditional barriers in the film and television industry, discovering and recognizing pioneering works that combine exceptional artistic value with technical innovation in AI-generated content (AIGC). We seek not only masters of technology but also visual storytellers who expand narrative dimensions through new media and explore pressing themes of our era. This edition of the AIGC track features three core categories, offering 16 prestigious awards that comprehensively cover the diverse forms of AIGC filmmaking.

Here, technology is no longer just a tool—it's a creative partner. Creativity is no longer limited by reality; it stretches into infinite imagination. We believe everyone has a unique perspective, and every work deserves to be seen.

Core Sectors

Explore the diverse experiences of the film festival, from competitions and forums to screenings and co-production markets.

AIGC Feature Film Unit

AI-Driven Long-Form Narrative: This unit is the core of the AIGC track, recognizing works that deeply integrate AI technology into long-form storytelling and achieve breakthroughs in audiovisual language and world-building. We encourage creators to transcend traditional production workflows and explore new possibilities for AI in complex narratives, spectacular presentation, and emotional expression.

AIGC Short Film Unit

The ultimate avant-garde audiovisual experiment: Short films are the testing ground for cinematic language innovation. This section encourages creators to achieve precise expression within a limited runtime using highly condensed AI-driven audiovisual language, exploring non-linear storytelling, surreal visuals, or immersive aesthetics. This is the most free and experimental arena for AIGC expression.

AIGC Short Drama Unit

Discover New Narrative Paradigms for the Streaming Era: Aligned with global streaming trends and fragmented reading habits, this unit explores AI's potential in serialized storytelling. We seek series that maintain high information density, strong dramatic tension, and coherent world-building within extremely short episodes—setting industry benchmarks for the commercialization and mass adoption of AIGC film and television.
