- Per La Voce di Venezia, 100+ international selections span animation, documentary, visual experiments and hybrid forms, with two screening blocks daily plus talks and workshops.

- The author's viewing method: pick three films and note one thing AI handled cleanly and one that still needed a human pass — the fastest way to gauge where these tools stand.
