Discover a selection of award-winning short films created using generative AI, chosen from more than 10,000 submissions to the OMNI International AI Film Festival over the past two years. Spanning genres, styles and perspectives, these experimental works offer a glimpse into how stories can be created and shared today.
Provocative, moving and visually unexpected, the 45-minute program showcases filmmakers using AI to explore memory, imagine new worlds and bring ambitious creative ideas to the screen. The OMNI selection jury includes Australian directors George Miller, Alex Proyas and Clayton Jacobson, alongside Professor Toby Walsh.
As AI-generated images become more common, artists, audiences and creative industries are grappling with questions of authorship, trust and originality. What can these new tools reveal, and what might they obscure?
