Call for Entries: Main Competition Unit of the 7th Blue Planet Sci-Fi Film Festival Now Open!

Do you recall the calm and intelligent HAL 9000 from "2001: A Space Odyssey"? Or the gentle and considerate Samantha from "Her"? And what about MOSS from "The Wandering Earth"? These AI personas, once confined to the realms of science fiction cinema, are now entering our reality at an astonishing pace.

From the emergence of ChatGPT to the stunning debut of Deepseek, every breakthrough in AI technology seems to echo the prophecies once made by science fiction films. Science fiction cinema has long transcended mere entertainment, becoming a mirror through which humanity explores the future and contemplates the ethics of technology.
In this era of rapid technological advancement, we cannot help but ask: Are science fiction movies prophets or dreamweavers? And how will AI technology reshape our future?

The global call for entries for the main competition unit of the 7th Blue Planet Sci- Fi Film Festival is officially underway. We are about to witness the convergence of science fiction cinema and AI transformation. Creators from around the world, let us traverse the silver screen together and explore the future!
