Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia has announced the generative AI lineup for its 2026 autumn edition in Tokyo, across three programs:
- TOKYO STORIES season 2: 27 AI-made films about the city, screening free on Nov 5 at the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum
- CapCut AI Film Program: 9 films selected from over 100 open-call entries, screening Nov 7
- TOPVIEW: Nov 8, featuring three world premieres including director Ryuta Miyake's PSY DIVER Episode 1, followed by a talk on AI and narrative filmmaking
The author sees a dedicated AI track at an established festival as a positive signal and suggests aspiring AI filmmakers practice with a tight two-minute portrait of a city they know well.
