Inside the event
Join us for Lumara Film Festival's inaugural screening and awards night, an evening of boundary-pushing AI short films. Lumara is an artist-first and artist-led AI film festival, celebrating the new voices and tools defining this transformative era of cinema. At Lumara, you will find boundary-pushing AI films that don't fit inside corporate content policies, made by filmmakers with singular visions and the nerve to take risks. Prizes across seven categories total over $100,000 cash plus millions of Venice credits, including a $32,000 Grand Prize. We'll screen the nominated films and announce the winners, judged by a jury including Voidstomper, Gossip Goblin, Chris White (Backrooms, A24/Atomic), JBoogxCreative, Heavy Pulp, SÜNDERMANN, BLVCKLIGHT, Ansem, and FaZe Banks. We'll also screen select trailers and exclusive previews of our jury's latest work. Stay tuned for more on this. 👀 See you at the movies! Presented by MoonPay and Venice.
