GENflick is a high-energy, 72-hour creative sprint designed to empower the next generation of storytellers.
We challenge content creators aged 14 and up to explore the intersection of human vision and machine intelligence — crafting short, powerful narratives that blend traditional filmmaking with the limitless possibilities of generative AI.
This is more than a competition — it's a playground for bold ideas, cinematic risk-taking, — and the future of storytelling.
Reimagine. Create. Generate. Learn how to use GenAI as a creative partner and tell your story from script to screen at GENflick 2026
Celebrating Stories Powered by Creativity and AI

We are proud to present the first GENflick winners and honourable mentions. Watch the winning microfilms that stood out, and stay tuned as GENflick returns in 2026 with even more creative energy.
