The third edition of the Türkiye International AI Film Festival (TAIFF) will take place from Dec. 7-9 at the Yeşilçam Cinema in Istanbul’s Atatürk Cultural Center (AKM).

First held in 2024, the festival has received more than 2,000 film submissions from over 100 countries to date.

This year, AI-generated films will be evaluated not only as complete works but also across different stages of the production process, with awards to be presented in several new categories for the first time.

The festival will present the Grand Prize for Best AI Film and a Special Jury Award, as well as awards for Best AI Director, Actor, Cinematographer, Editing, Sound Design, Music, Visual Effects, Animation and Documentary.

Each category will have separate national and international winners.

Submissions will be accepted through the FilmFreeway platform until Nov. 1.
