Slamdance is inviting filmmakers worldwide to submit to its DIG program, where AI-created work is actively encouraged alongside other boundary-pushing digital cinema. The opportunity combines festival exposure with a potential $25,000 AGBO Fellowship and a Utopia theatrical distribution arrangement for the top winner. This is especially relevant to independent and experimental filmmakers using AI as part of their storytelling or production workflow. Entries go through Slamdance’s official festival submission process, with the current deadline listed as October 6, 2026.
