On November 1, 2026, the SVAIFF × AAFF Global AI Film Showcase will officially launch at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills, California.
The Arklink AI Film Festival (AAFF) and the Silicon Valley AI Film Festival (SVAIFF) have formed an official partnership. Bringing together film, art, technology and creator networks across London and Los Angeles, the two festivals are launching a global collaborative showcase to discover, select and present a new generation of filmmakers and moving-image works redefining cinematic language and creative production.
Founded in London, the Arklink AI Film Festival (AAFF) is one of Europe’s leading international platforms dedicated to emerging AI cinema, distinguished by its pioneering curatorial approach and integrated festival ecosystem. AAFF has become an important cultural platform for a new generation of AI filmmakers and moving-image artists worldwide, as well as a key gateway for AI films to access international exhibition, professional recognition and industry opportunities.
AAFF brings together global open calls, international curation, jury-led selection, official programs, theatrical screenings, annual awards, creator networks, international media visibility and industry partnerships. Together, these form an end-to-end pathway from artistic discovery and professional recognition to international exhibition, global visibility and commercial opportunities.
AAFF’s content and partnership network now spans more than 100 media outlets, industry communities and cultural channels worldwide, while connecting with over 50 international brands and partners. Its influence extends across film, art, AI and emerging technology, fashion, consumer industries, youth culture and urban innovation.
AAFF brings together a new generation of directors, digital artists and AI moving-image creators with exceptional originality and potential. It is also becoming a key gateway for the film industry to discover new directors, new works and emerging modes of production; for technology companies to demonstrate their capabilities in real creative environments; and for brands to engage with the next generation of cultural audiences and consumers.
