The Sparknify Human vs. AI Film Festival is a global film festival exploring one of the most defining questions of our time: can machines meaningfully express human emotion—and what does that reveal about us?
The festival brings together traditional filmmakers and generative AI creators on the same stage, not to compete by technique or genre, but to engage in a deeper creative inquiry. Unlike conventional film festivals, Human vs. AI categorizes films by Emotion, asking creators to define their work by what it makes audiences feel rather than how it is made.
Each submitted film is centered on one of seven core human emotions—Joy, Rage, Sorrow, Contentment, Love, Aversion, and Desire. Emotion becomes the common language between human storytelling and machine-generated cinema, and the lens through which all works are evaluated.
More than a competition, the Human vs. AI Film Festival functions as both a Turing Test for AI films and a creative compass for filmmakers. It examines how effectively AI can evoke genuine emotional response, while simultaneously challenging human creators to reflect on how cinema expresses humanity in an age of intelligent machines.
Selected films are reviewed by a panel of distinguished academics and creative leaders spanning cinema, artificial intelligence, and human perception. The festival culminates in a live premiere event featuring nominated films, panel discussions, and dialogue on the future of storytelling at the intersection of technology and emotion.
At its core, the Sparknify Human vs. AI Film Festival is not about humans versus machines—but about emotion as the measure of cinema, connection, and what it means to be human.

We are pleased to inform you that the 16th Delhi International Film Festival, 2027, is being organized as a five-day event in New Delhi in collaboration with the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (Ministry of Culture). The DPRK (North Korea) and Russia will be the country partners. This includes seven editions of the 15th Delhi International Film Festival, 2027, which will run from Feb 22, 2027.
The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, which functions as a component body of the government, is a key player in the Delhi International Film Festival, ensuring that whenever a film festival abroad requires Indian films to be shown, we participate with Indian programs.
The festival will feature films from over 50 countries in sections such as Indian Showcase, World Cinema, Arab Cinema, NRI Cinema, and Across-Border Cinema. The opening and closing events will be key attractions. This year is a year of focus on Arab cinema and cinema from India's Northeast.
But the most important aspect of the 16th edition is the screening of films related to women's empowerment and social issues related to children.
In previous editions, Canada, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Morocco, Tunisia, Palestine, Russia, and Israel have been country partners. Eight films screened and awarded at the Delhi International Film Festival have won National Awards, such as Agam and Dada Lakhmi, and four foreign films have been official entries for the Oscars from their respective countries.
DIFF is a unique festival of its kind, playing a vital role in promoting Indian cinema, art, and culture not only in Central Asian and Arab countries but also in European countries.

All Indian regional film industries have a significant presence at the festival, and the South Indian film industry, which is particularly large, is well represented at DIFF. DIFF also supports and guides the Jharkhand and Haryana International Film Festivals, and upcoming film festivals in South India and other countries.
