Cinema Shift Festival 2026 - AI Film Event (Toronto, June 5)

Cinema Shift Festival is a curated AI film event taking place on June 5 at Hot Docs Cinema in Toronto.

This is a cinematic experience built around one core question: what happens to storytelling and authorship when AI becomes part of the creative process.

The evening brings together filmmakers, AI creators, and industry voices through a tightly curated program of short talks, real production insights, and a showcase of AI-assisted films.

You’ll see how creators are actually working with AI today, across writing, editing, VFX, animation, and sound, and how these tools are changing not just how films are made, but what stories get told.

What to expect:

• Short, focused talks from filmmakers and creative technologists
• Real workflows, experiments, and creative insights
• Curated screening of AI-assisted short films
• Jury awards and closing reception

Who should attend:

Filmmakers, AI creators, creative technologists, VFX artists, agency creatives, and anyone interested in the future of storytelling.
