nomorefrog™ AI Film Awards (NAIFA) is an international AI film festival verified by FilmFreeway.

Founded to celebrate the future of AI-based filmmaking, NAIFA welcomes works that explore new storytelling through artificial intelligence, emerging technology, and innovative creation.

We accept AI-generated, AI-assisted, and AI-utilized works from creators around the world. From AI films and animation to experimental films, music videos, visual art, and commercials, NAIFA is open to bold works that expand the language of cinema.

NAIFA is a hybrid festival with both online and offline screening programs. Official Selections may be screened through the festival’s nomorefrog™ YouTube channel, official digital screening partner OvAI, and other digital exhibition channels. Selected works may also be presented at special offline screenings hosted by NAIFA, creating space for filmmakers, audiences, and industry guests to connect.

NAIFA believes technology expands human expression rather than replacing creativity.
