ANNOUNCEMENT
We are excited to announce our partnership with UnHuman Shorts, an international contest dedicated to short films created with AI.
Season II explores THE TRACE — the marks left by human and machine creation.
The festival welcomes hundreds of creators from around the world and celebrates new cinematic languages shaped by AI.
ABOUT THE THEME
The Trace invites filmmakers to reflect on what remains after co-creation：the emotional, visual, and narrative imprints shared between artist and algorithm.
JOIN THE FESTIVAL
Submissions are open until January 25, 2026.
