AI doesn’t make films – you do.

Forward Festival and LTX Studio present the Shortest AI Film Competition: an open call for creatives who believe AI is a medium, not a shortcut.

Create a short film under 60 seconds with LTX Studio and show us what happens when bold ideas, creative thinking and technology come together.

Selected films will become part of the official shortlist and will be screened at the Shortest AI Film Festival during Forward Festival Berlin, in front of an international audience of creatives, filmmakers, designers, brands and studios.

You’ll get free access to LTX Studio throughout the competition and compete for cash prizes, Forward Festival Berlin tickets, travel & accommodation, LTX Studio subscriptions and further perks.

The tool is the same for everyone. What makes the difference is you.
