Meta Morph AI Film

London, United Kingdom

Festival overview

About Meta Morph AI Film

Physical film festival in London, United Kingdom with submission categories including Fully AI Generated and AI Animation.

Just as a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly, the creative industries are undergoing a profound metamorphosis. New technologies are changing how stories are imagined, produced and shared—but technology alone does not create meaningful work.

Behind every great film is a human idea, a creative decision and a story worth telling. MetaMorph celebrates filmmakers who use AI with originality, purpose and artistic intent.

We welcome work that combines generative technology with live action, traditional filmmaking, animation, visual effects, music, performance and other creative disciplines. We are not only looking for the newest technology.

We are looking for the most imaginative ways to use it.
