AI is already reshaping cinema. Now it's coming to Gurgaon.
The GenAI Hackathon in Filmmaking brings together storytellers, builders, and creators to explore what cinema looks like when AI is your entire crew.
You'll get 2 days, a theme revealed at the start, and 48 hours to build a Micro Film (minimum 90 seconds) made entirely with AI-generated visuals and audio. No actors. No stock footage. No shortcuts - just your story, your tools, and your imagination.
The best films screen in front of the room at the end of the day. The best creators get discovered.
Register as an individual. Bring your team on the day - max 3 per team, everyone registers at the event separately.
This Hackathon participation will also get you and your team full access to The Next Tech 1.0, hands-on workshops, panel discussions, fireside chats, shark tank pitches, co-founder mixers, and lunch.
