The KURSAAL-AI, part of the Kursaal Film Festival San Sebastián (KFFSS), is an international film festival for movies and series that aims to highlight the artistic talent of filmmakers who utilize AI tools. The festival’s exhibition format is online VOD (streaming), and it includes an awards ceremony held as part of the AI Weekend Fest (AIWF).
The KFFSS operates according to the principles and standards of the film industry—a crucial distinction from many other AI-focused festivals that do not originate from a background in cinema.
We value the cinematic talent of filmmakers capable of creating ultra-realistic fiction, artistic animation, and documentaries firmly grounded in real-world events.
We believe that, within the realm of generative AI, artistic and narrative creativity hold particular value.
