Save the date for the next extraordinary edition of the AI Film Awards in Dubai, in collaboration with Raindance Film Festival.

Following the success of our Cannes debut and Venice edition, which together drew over 300 attendees, we’re now bringing the magic to Billionaire Dubai, a luxurious, futuristic venue in the Burj Khalifa that is also home to the best dinner show in Dubai.

In Cannes, over 200 guests, sponsors, and industry leaders gathered to honour the best in AI filmmaking, presenting six prestigious awards including Best Picture and Best Visual Effects. Our Venice event, taking place in Sabia Venice beach club on the Lido and featuring a Crystal Brain award ceremony and caviar party, continued to raise the bar.

Now, Dubai promises to elevate the experience even further.

    Although I was not able to attend AI Film Venice in person, my experience with the submission process was excellent. The communication from the festival organizers was prompt and professional, and they provided clear updates throughout. I am greatly pleased to have been included in the festival.
