AI Film Festival Monaco 2026 is not only a celebration of AI-driven filmmaking, showcasing artificial intelligence as the new creative engine shaping the future of cinema and storytelling, but also an artistic experiment exploring the evolving relationship between the creator and the created. We invite filmmakers, artists, AI developers, and philosophers to explore and discuss: When AI can write, direct, and weave emotional narratives, does the soul of human fade — or expand?
