Filmmakers & directors

Creative Hackathon
Before we watch, we create.
A creative Hackathon will precede the Napoli AI Film Festival. Its challenge, dates and application process are being developed.
The Hackathon is planned as part of the road to NAIFF. The event date, venue, brief, eligibility, application and awards have not yet been announced.
The idea
Different minds. One creative challenge.
The Hackathon is intended to bring filmmakers, artists, writers, designers, musicians and technologists into shared creative work with generative AI.
The finished format will explain how ideas made during the challenge connect to the festival. That connection will be published once the rules and programme are confirmed.
The challenge
The brief is taking shape.
The theme, time available, deliverables, permitted tools and evaluation criteria will appear here when confirmed. We want participants to know exactly what they are signing up for.
Coming soon
One brief. Many ways to tell it.
Full challenge details and applications will be announced on this page.

The experience
A creative process from brief to presentation.
