Astana AI Film Festival 2026

The open call that filled YouTube with #SpecialForAAIFF

ranked by watch-verified votes, then YouTube engagement · updates as ratings land

#SpecialForAAIFF ↗ · Astana, Kazakhstan

The Astana AI Film Festival (AAIFF) is one of the first film festivals built for AI-generated cinema rather than against it. Its open call asked creators worldwide to publish AI short films to YouTube tagged #SpecialForAAIFF — and the tag filled up with sci-fi shorts, parables, animation and found-footage experiments from Kazakhstan, the wider region and far beyond.

This page tracks the submission wave as it happened on YouTube: every film below carries the festival tag. Ratings and verdicts here are popcorn.movie community scores, not festival results — the festival's own jury decisions belong to the festival.
