MyFilm48 Season Four: Space, Beauty and the Evolution of Creativity

The fourth season of the MyFilm48 International Generative AI Film Competition has launched under the slogan “Supernova Aesthetics”! It marks a qualitative evolutionary leap for the project — from an experimental platform to a full-fledged ecosystem for the visual art of the future.

Scheduled for September 18–22, 2025, with the support of RIVE GAUCHE, Synergy University, KARI and MOSKINO, the season brings together three conceptually distinct universes: the beauty and fashion industry with its philosophy of beauty, space themes as a metaphor for the boundlessness of human aspiration, and modern education.

Fundamental format changes: the prize fund has grown to 1,000,000 rubles, and the production time has been doubled to 96 hours, allowing participants to reach a new level of artistic depth. For the first time in the competition's history, a large-scale educational program is being introduced — a series of specialized webinars from AI industry leaders.

The jury embodies a truly interdisciplinary approach: from Russia's top film producers, theater director Andrei Moguchy and Tsiolkovsky's great-grandson Sergei Samburov to professionals in generative neural network development. This is not just a jury — these are the architects of a new visual culture.

But the main transformation is MyFilm48 becoming a hub platform for AI creators. Participants can now create public portfolios and signal their openness to partnerships, turning one-time participation in the competition into a long-term professional path.

In just a year and a half, MyFilm48 has received more than 1,700 submissions from 37 countries, and the third season won gold at the Silver Mercury festival. The fourth season promises to be the moment when generative art finally establishes itself as an independent art form, able to compete with traditional media in emotional impact and aesthetic value.
