Runway AI Film Festival: The Winners Worth Watching
Runway's AI Film Festival is the biggest stage in AI cinema, and its Gen-48 contest is the fastest. These are the winning films, all watchable right here.
The Runway AI Film Festival has become the Cannes of AI cinema: thousands of entries, a real jury, and a Grand Prix that can launch a filmmaker. Its sister contest, Gen-48, is the opposite kind of thrill, a finished film in 48 hours. We track both, and every winning film we can verify earns a 🏆 on YouBoob and a place in the Competition Winners section.
Here are the top 25, led by the biggest prizes. Tap any film to watch it here, and tap the maker's picture to visit their channel.
