Hi {{First Name | there}},
The second Austin AI Film Festival is this Friday and Saturday, October 16 and 17, presented at The Topfer at Zach Theater.
This year we've brought together the people leading the way, from the creators to the companies behind them, to show us the state of the art in generative cinema.
It's also two days to spend with your people, with live music, art, comedy and dance on both days.

Austin AI Film Festival & Summit
| ► |
The 2nd Annual Austin AI Film Festival brings the directors, studio founders, investors and technologists behind this year's best generative and hybrid films to Zach Theater in Austin.
Roxane B's paintings of the American West will hang in the grand lobby all weekend.
Friday, October 16: The Summit
Spend the day learning how this year's best films were made, from the people who made them.
PJ Accetturo (Genre.ai), Billy Boman (Boman Studios), Conrad Curtis (Beeble), Henry Daubrez (ODD KID) and Joni Dobrov (Exact) will each lead a masterclass, taking their own work apart on stage.
Panels cover brand and commercial work, and what it takes to become a superhuman director.
At lunch, Jenny Roca plays her mix of R&B and neo-soul, in English and Spanish.
The day ends with mentor tables with the speakers, then a happy hour at The Well in Bouldin Creek.

Saturday, October 17: The Screenings and Awards Ceremony
Settle in for a full day of this year's Official Selection on the big screen, with the filmmakers who made them in the audience.
Pinar Seyhan Demirdag (EVRN), Jason Fisher (StageRunner) and C. Sean Yuksel (GRAFX & Dreamspace) sit down for a fireside chat on where filmmaking goes from here.
The night opens with drinks in the lobby and ends with an awards show you won't want to miss, hosted by Robert Parks-Valletta.
There will be comedy from Jenny Ann and Alden Schaub, three performances from INKXKNI blending live artistry with immersive digital visuals, a visit from Wes and his dragon Ember of mythosXYZ, and belt buckles for the winners.
Winners are chosen by our judges: Louie Schwartzberg (Fantastic Fungi), Rick Carter (Avatar, Lincoln), Jon Flynn (FoxNXT, Fox Entertainment), Sarba Das (108 Pictures), Seema Mathur (Global Voice Productions) and BLVCKL!GHT (Cryptid Dating Game).
