Welcome to the World AI Script Festival – Remember the Future! We run a worldwide monthly and annual competition dedicated to screenplays and scripts created with the power of Artificial Intelligence, open to screenwriters, storytellers, and creators from around the world.

World AI Script Festival – Remember the Future is a branch of the World Film Festival in Cannes — a hybrid festival that has grown into a major international cultural event, recognized by professionals across the film and music industries as well as by the international press. The festival celebrates both emerging talents and internationally acclaimed artists whose achievements have also been recognized by the Oscars®, BAFTA®, and Golden Globes®.

Artificial Intelligence is writing the future of storytelling. We celebrate it — one script, one scene, one story at a time.

Our monthly format allows screenwriters to submit as often as they create, keeping pace with the rapidly evolving world of AI-assisted screenwriting.

Our Annual Competition, featuring a selection of the year's best Monthly Winners, will be announced in July 2027.
You have until April 30 to submit your work and try to mark the future!

The Festival Jury, composed of professionals from the film industry, screenwriting, and artificial intelligence, who have no connection to the competing submissions, will evaluate all entries through a private judging process and select the best works in each category.

🏆 All Official Selections, Semi-Finalists, Finalists, Nominees, and Winners will receive official laurels. All Finalists, Nominees, and Winners will also be featured on our official website and social media platforms.

🏆 Monthly and Annual Winners will receive a personalized high-resolution digital Official Certificate.

🏆 All Winners have the opportunity to purchase the prestigious "Luciole d'Or" (Golden Firefly), a custom-made metal statuette designed on the French Riviera.

🏆 Finalists, Nominees, and Winners may also book an exclusive interview with our editorial team. Their interview will receive extensive exposure across our official website and social media platforms.

🏆 All Monthly Winners are automatically qualified for the Annual Competition, competing both in their winning category and for the festival's highest distinction: the Grand Prix – Best Script From The Future – Remember the Future®.
