FILMHACK: 48 AI x Filmmaking Challenge

über dieses event

RSVP here does not guarantee a spot. Application at FILMHACK.AI is mandatory.

FILMHACK is a 48-hour, in-person hybrid filmmaking hackathon in Potsdam. 100 creators, 20+ teams, one weekend. You make a short film from scratch and watch it on a cinema screen on Sunday night.

The one rule: every film has to contain something real. A performance, a voice, a place, a shot. Everything else is open. AI creators get a reason to work with real people and cameras. Filmmakers get to use AI without feeling like it all has to be AI.

How the weekend works: Thursday — opening panel on hybrid filmmaking and where AI production is heading, with networking afterwards. Friday — registration, a short warm-up workshop, then the countdown starts at 17:00, with pitches, crew forming and drinks. Saturday — shoot, generate, record, edit, with mentors on the floor. Sunday — submission at 17:00, screening at the cinema at 19:00, awards and a celebration.

Who it's for: filmmakers who want to use AI in real production; AI creators who want a challenge, filmmaking know-how and contacts; writers who want to see their story on screen in two days; editors who want to merge AI and filmmaking; actors curious about hybrid productions. You walk in curious. You walk out with a finished film and a workflow you can run again on Monday.

Good to know: free to attend, free GenAI tokens, application-based, €6,000 cash residency, in-kind prizes from our partners, no gatekeeping. If you're curious and ready to make something, apply. Please note: RSVP here doesn't give you access to the challenge. Application at FILMHACK.AI is mandatory.
