The world's original
AI film festival.
Berlin to the world.
Twelve weeks. Eleven cities. One global circuit for synthetic cinema. Community-driven submissions, AI-monitored by super agents, judged by the public, the industry, and the algorithm.
Tarantino meets
Spielberg in a world created by Musk and designed by Jobs.
A global coliseum where the world's first AI-native auteurs screen their work for a public that votes, an industry that bets, and an algorithm that scores.
We built this for the storytellers who were told their tools were cheating. The filmmakers who generate entire worlds from a prompt. The directors who collaborate with silicon. This is their festival. This is their circuit.
"Anamorphic Brutalism: raw, grit-infused storytelling fused with the surgical precision of the silicon age."
Eleven cities.
One global winner.
A week-by-week blitz of technological dominance. Each city screens, votes, and sends its winner to the Berlin finale.
Berlin
Where it begins. The premiere of synthetic cinema.
Tokyo
Cyberpunk meets celluloid in Shibuya.
New York
The industry descends on Manhattan.
Los Angeles
Hollywood meets the algorithm.
São Paulo
Latin America's creative pulse.
Singapore
The tech gateway of Southeast Asia.
Tel Aviv
The innovation nation hosts the future.
Moscow
Avant-garde roots run deep.
Rome

Paris
The auteur tradition meets generative art.
Miami
Art deco and AI on the sand.
Berlin
The world winner crowned. Back where it began.
Four forces decide
what the world watches.
Automated monitoring of every submission. The algorithm scores technical execution, narrative coherence, and AI-tool integration.
Real human viewing. The community watches, rates, and champions the films they love.
Curated jury of filmmakers, critics, and technologists. The critical eye on synthetic cinema.
The film industry votes. Distributors, studios, and platforms decide what gets acquired.
Powered by Steiner.
Backed by the world.
Steiner Index
The composite scoring engine powering the Festiva AI voting system.
Steiner Score
The real-time analytics layer tracking every submission across the circuit.
// Seeking strategic partners across four axes:
Film Industry
Studios, distributors, and streaming platforms acquiring the best synthetic cinema.
AI Tech Industry
Model labs, tool builders, and compute providers sponsoring the frontier.
Municipalities
City governments hosting the tour and backing cultural innovation.
Theater Chains
Cinema networks providing the physical stages for the circuit.
Wear the circuit.
Every tour stop drops a limited run. Tees, caps, bracelets, jewelry — and a few things you didn't expect. When it's gone, it's gone. The next city is already loading.

Caps & Hats
Orange and black, embroidered with the Festiva AI sigil.
Bracelets
Braided leather and metal. The circuit on your wrist.
Jewelry
Enamel pins and metallic pendants for the collectors.

A partnership of
visionaries.
