Daejeon International AI Film Festival (DIAIF)
Where Technology Meets Human Imagination.
Located in Daejeon, the science and technology capital of South Korea and home to the Daedeok Research and Development Special Zone, DIAIF is the most experimental platform for the future of cinema. We don't just screen videos; we ask: Is AI a creator or a tool? Can human emotion coexist with algorithms?
[Why Submit?]
1.AI-Specialized Focus: We spotlight works that experiment with future cinematic languages, including generative AI, hybrid production, and AI-based storytelling.
2.Selective Screening Opportunities: Winning films and a curated selection of up to 10 outstanding works will have the opportunity to be showcased in a special session at the Daejeon International Short Film Festival, scheduled for late October. This provides a powerful platform for your work to engage with a live cinema audience beyond the initial selection.
3.Symbolic Location: Hosting an AI film festival in the heart of Korea’s R&D center provides a powerful narrative asset for your film’s PR.
4.Visibility for Creators: Unlike mega-festivals where films can get lost, we ensure every selected director and work is introduced with clarity and focus.
5.Pioneer Status: Join the first generation of AI creators. We value the title of "AI Cinema Pioneer" and provide official laurels to commemorate your achievement.
6.Experience True AI Cinema & Global Networking
Submit your work to DIAIF and gain exclusive access to a robust networking platform connecting you directly with fellow filmmakers, AI tech leaders, and industry professionals. We are committed to fostering genuine community through an official dinner and private reception featuring authentic Korean local cuisine. Here, you won't just screen your film; you'll build lasting global partnerships and explore the future of AI cinema in a convivial atmosphere.
