Wonderful festival! Amazing event and people. Thank you!

Rod Cauhi, Award Winner

Being selected as a semifinalist at the Atlanta International AI Film Festival was a meaningful experience. The communication was clear and timely, and I truly appreciated how the festival made space for emerging voices in AI filmmaking. Even from afar, I felt supported and proud to be part of this edition.

Oscar Sanchez, Semi-finalist

A wonderful festival and very well organized. Good guests and speakers.

Festival FAQ

For all your questions regarding tickets, venue, accessibility, arrival Info, and other general questions!

June 16th (Day 1) location is MODEx Studios. June 17th (Day 2) will be taking place at Ambient Plus Studios.
Yes. Purchase a Day 1 ticket and a Day 2 ticket separately.
Dressy casual. Think polished but comfortable. Day 1 leans more professional. Slacks, chinos, a dress shirt, blouse, or sweater. Clean sneakers, loafers, or low heels all work. A blazer is never out of place. Day 2 is dressy casual with room for your personal style. Think dresses, skirts, well-fitted pants with a stylish top, or a put-together casual look. Loafers, clean sneakers, flats, wedges, or low heels all fit the vibe.
The afternoon tracks are included with the Summit + Track Pass ($349) and are not available with the standard Day 1 ticket. They run simultaneously in the afternoon and are each designed for a specific type of senior professional. The Brief is for marketing and brand executives — CMOs, VPs of Brand, Chief Growth Officers, and anyone responsible for building or approving generative media strategy inside their organization.
MODEx: Yes, paid parking in the parking garage. Ambient Studios: Free but limited parking is available on site. We strongly encourage rideshare or public transit. The nearest MARTA station is West End, approximately a 15-minute walk from the venue.
