Festival AI

AI-powered film festival management -- from submission to screening.

The Challenge

The Problem Festivals Face

Film festival organisers manage hundreds of submissions manually, programme schedules by hand, and have no data-driven tools to understand their audiences or optimise their programme for European diversity requirements.

Manual Submissions

Hundreds of film entries processed by hand -- screening, categorising, and tracking each one without intelligent automation.

Scheduling Complexity

Programming schedules built manually with spreadsheets, juggling venue availability, audience flow, and filmmaker logistics.

No Data-Driven Insight

Festival teams lack tools to understand audience demographics, track diversity compliance, or measure programme performance.

Our Approach

The Festival AI Solution

Festival AI automates submission processing, uses AI to assist programme curation, optimises scheduling, and provides audience analytics -- helping festivals meet European content diversity obligations more efficiently.
