Work and material requirements

• Microfilm: 60–100 seconds; short film: 3–15 minutes; experimental/concept: 1–15 minutes. Category requirements differ.
• AI must make a meaningful creative contribution; random montages, tool demonstrations and unfinished tests are not sufficient.
• Non-English films need English subtitles; describe AI tools, generated elements and their creative purpose.

Our analysis · not an official scoring rubric

Fit and effort

A fit for a finished film with an explainable creative use of AI. Realistic microfilms, animated experiments and music videos need different category checks.

Our suggestion: write four checks for runtime, visual style, subtitles and AI contribution. Ask about a suitable category before an unnecessary recut.

Turn the rules into preparation steps

1. Match style and runtime to a category and read the full terms.
2. Prepare English subtitles, AI disclosure and rights records for music and people.
3. Confirm the fee and exact cutoff on FilmFreeway, then preserve the entry record.
