AI Fest Expands to Design, Fashion, Gaming

The AI Film Festival, previously focused solely on cinema, is broadening its horizons. Organizer Runway has announced the festival will now include design, new media, fashion, gaming, and advertising. The expanded event, rebranded as the AI Festival, is set to take place on June 11 in New York and June 18 in Los Angeles.

Runway, a well-funded startup developing tools for filmmakers, is modeling this expansion after the Tribeca Festival's success in uniting diverse creative communities. The 2026 festival in New York will be held at Alice Tully Hall.

This year's edition includes significant cash prizes: $15,000 for the first-place filmmaker and $10,000 for winners in the newly added categories. This shift occurs as the entertainment industry faces potential contract negotiations and ongoing discussions about AI's role.
