Youth Division (Hong Kong) - Director-Student Jam
All submitted AI films must be between 1 to 3 minutes in length and prominently feature generative AI in their creation. A short "making-of" statement will be required to explain the AI tools (e.g. images and video generation, sound/music, script). and processes used.
Concept & Vision
To elevate the Re:VISS AI Film FEST and create a truly landmark cultural moment, we propose a special showcase event: "Director-Student Jam"
This pioneering initiative will conduct a workshop with sharing by industry experts at Google's office on 6th September, 2025 (e.g. Nick Cheuk 卓亦謙) to the youth. Together, all participants will learn more about the film industry's production in real world alongside the latest AI video generation technology before developing their own AI-powered short films .
The vision is to bridge the gap between seasoned cinematic mastery and the raw, innovative energy of the next generation, demonstrating that AI is not a replacement for creative vision but a powerful new instrument in the hands of artists.
Objectives
· Create a "Passing the Torch" Moment: Symbolically link Hong Kong's rich cinematic legacy with its future in creative technology.
· Provide Unprecedented Mentorship: Offer a small group of students a career-defining opportunity to learn directly from a master of the craft.
· Validate AI in High-Level Artistry: Showcase how an established director can incorporate AI into their creative process, lending immense credibility to the medium.
-
Eligibility: Full-time students currently enrolled in any tertiary institution (sub-degree, undergraduate, or postgraduate) and the youth under 30 years old in Hong Kong.
-
Focus: To encourage experimentation and learning among Hong Kong's youth. The judging will place a slightly higher emphasis on creativity and potential.
