About

A global standard for AI-native cinema

Global AI Cinema is building a global evaluation and recognition system for AI-native filmmaking — exploring how human and AI co-created films are understood, curated, and recognized in the emerging era of AI storytelling.

We collaborate with festivals, creators, technologists, cultural institutions, and academia worldwide to help shape the future standards and cinematic language of AI-native cinema.

This is where AI cinema becomes culture.This is where the next cinematic standard begins.
How it works

A dual-layer standard

Every film passes through our AI evaluation system, then faces a panel of international jury members. The two layers together produce a judgment that neither could achieve alone.

01
Submit

Upload your film and declare your AI tools and methodology. Open to all nationalities and experience levels.

02
AI pre-evaluation

Our system scores every submission across five technical dimensions — visual fidelity, motion consistency, coherence, sync, and stability.

03
Jury review

Shortlisted films go before a panel of directors, academics, curators, and producers who evaluate on five artistic dimensions.

04
Selection & award

Monthly selections, Official Selections, and the Grand Prize are announced and published in the permanent GACA archive.
