With the theme "Synthetic Stories, Human Hearts," this edition of the Reply AI Film Festival celebrates the synergy between human talent and Artificial Intelligence, blending art, creativity, and technology harmoniously.

A jury of AI and visual arts experts will evaluate the entries and select the top ten short films across the Narrative, Pilots, Documentaries, and Experimental categories.
Thanks to the collaboration with Mastercard, which has always been committed to connecting consumers with their passions and supporting emerging talents, the finalists will be invited to experience a unique opportunity in the Lagoon and participate in a Premiere Event, hosted by Reply and Mastercard, during the days of the 81st Venice International Film Festival.

Opening it up to the public today and engaging a wider audience of young technology enthusiasts is of great value to us.
