Chile's AI short film festival requires AI to matter creatively, not just be used
lmoroney · x · 2026-10-20
Laurence Moroney highlights IA en Corto, an online AI short film festival in Santiago, Chile (Oct 20-24, second edition).
Key points:
- Main rule: AI must matter creatively somewhere in the making (images, animation, script, edit, sound or story); the rest can be made by hand
- Films in Spanish or English across four sections, including vertical shorts up to 2 minutes
- No cash prize: winner gets sales/distribution consulting; best AI short's director joins next year's jury
Moroney likes the rule as a learning exercise: before your next short, write one sentence on what AI does that your story needs — if you can't, cut that shot.
