GenJam @ GTC: Use AI to create a Short Film & Win a Dell Laptop!
Learn. Create. Play.
Learn cutting-edge AI creative tools, make a short film, and win a Dell laptop! Oh, and the best films get shown on stage.
GenJam is Machine Cinema's original AI-native creative sprint : part workshop, part competition, part screening. Form a team, grab the most cutting-edge AI tools, and race to build a short film before lunch.
This one's for GTC, the builders, artists, and dreamers who showed up because the future is actually worth getting excited about.
THE THEME: HELLO FUTURE WORLD
What does the future actually look like? Not the dystopian, cautionary-tale version, but the one where we got it right?
For this GenJam, your creative lens is optimism. Imagine the worlds that are coming. The cities, the landscapes, the civilizations we haven't built yet. Then go one step further: imagine the people inside them. The inventors, the geniuses, and visionaries who emerge from this new era of human and machine creativity. What are they building? What are they dreaming? What's their story?
Your film, your game, your world, all of it should feel like a dispatch from a future worth living in. Bold. Imaginative. Alive with possibility.
THE TOOLS
Cutting-edge AI image, video, and world generation — shoot scenes without a camera
Dell hardware — feel what generative AI workflows are like when the hardware actually keeps up
