The 2026 edition of the Rome AI Film Festival marks a defining moment for our growing global community. As the landscape of AI filmmaking evolves, so does our mission to support the visionaries leading the charge. This year, we are proud to have expanded our reach through strategic partnerships with Capcut, Mosaic, Tapnow, and Escape, ensuring that the groundbreaking work of our creators receives the visibility it deserves.

The standard of competition has reached an incredible new peak. From over 430 submissions spanning the globe, our judging committee, guided by the expertise of an Academy Award winner for The Matrix, has identified the works that best represent the future of digital narrative.

We are honored to present our four category winners and honorable mentions. These films do more than showcase technology; they capture the heart of human storytelling.
