GENflick – The Creative AI Microfilm Challenge invites students, creators, and aspiring filmmakers to explore the future of storytelling powered by AI.

Teams then have the weekend to create a 90s–2min microfilm using AI tools, with optional access to the Challenge Space and expert guidance on Day 1.

Leading up to the challenge, participants can attend free webinars and SkillsFuture-eligible short courses to gain practical skills in AI storytelling and filmmaking.
