GenTO: Toronto AI Film Festival
Presented by Magnific.com, GenTO: Toronto AI Film Festival is a full-day showcase of AI-enhanced film screenings, networking with industry professionals and panel discussions on the future of storytelling.
If you want to hear from the professionals already using the latest AI technology in the creative industries, you won't want to miss this.
Meet the minds pushing film forward: Lisa Sepp-Wilson, a VFX producer and supervisor with nearly 30 years of experience and five Emmy nominations; Ana Serrano, OCAD University’s President and Vice-Chancellor and founder of CFC Media Lab; Robert Gaudette, whose A Face Only a Mother Could Love won the 2026 Runway AI Film Festival Grand Prix; Adam Fainman, Moonlite Labs founder and CEO, multimedia producer, and artist known as Beatox; and Oleksii “Lex” Koba, a creative director, VFX supervisor, and educator with credits including John Wick: Chapter 4 and Stranger Things. Join them for bold conversations on AI, creativity, and cinema’s next chapter.
GenTO showcases local and international films and artists exploring generative AI as a creative tool, with a focus on bold storytelling, artistic craft, and the future of cinema. Films are judged by an experienced panel of filmmakers, animators and industry professionals.
We believe the most exciting work in this space is not about replacing filmmakers, but expanding the tools available to artists and storytellers. GenTO supports a human-first approach to AI-assisted filmmaking, grounded in artistic authorship, responsibility, and strong creative vision.
Set in Toronto, a global hub for both film culture and AI innovation, GenTO brings together artists, filmmakers, and audiences to explore the next chapter of cinema.
