Overview
The 11th Firm Film Festival in Valladolid, Spain runs 22–25 April 2027 and accepts international submissions for a dedicated Best AI-Generated Film category. The organizer requires AI to play a significant role in the visual and audio creation, but does not prescribe a numerical AI percentage. The official Festhome submission page publicly offers a Submit action. The closing date is 30 March 2027; AI-category entry costs €25 during the regular/late stages or €50 at the extended stage. General rules permit any production country and year and require appropriate subtitles and full rights clearance. Wording about short-only AI award versus a short/feature category is inconsistent and documented for verification.

Submission Requirements
Apply via Best AI-Generated Film category on the organizer-managed Festhome submission page. Online submission/screener required; no printed materials. General rule: short film 30 min, but AI section itself lists both short and feature, so duration remains category-dependent.
