Absolute Cinema! AI Filmmaking & Storytelling 24hrs Hack

AI Filmmaking, VFX, Storytelling & Interactive Media Hackathon during SIGGRAPH Week. What comes after prompting a single AI video? Join us in Los Angeles during SIGGRAPH Week for a two-day hackathon exploring the future of AI filmmaking, cinema, VFX, 3D, storytelling, and interactive media. This hack brings together filmmakers, artists, creative technologists, developers, designers, researchers, and AI builders to prototype new production workflows for the next era of cinema — moving beyond one-off AI clips toward reusable, interactive, and scalable creative pipelines. Whether you’re working with generative video, 3D worlds, Gaussian splats, VFX workflows, game engines, spatial media, or narrative systems, this is the space to build, experiment, collaborate, and demo your ideas live.
