MyFilm48 VII: Cannes Season

See you on the main stage of world cinema.

The central theme of Season VII is travel: adventures in the jungle or the road to the Côte d'Azur, the calm of majestic mountains or the rhythm of a festival city, the faces and scenes that over decades have shaped the mythology of world cinema.

The season's key technology partner is TapNow, a Chinese visual platform that brings together the best generative models in a single Tapflow workspace: Kling, Flux, Nano Banana, Veo and the much-talked-about Seedance 2.0. Thanks to this partnership, creators get free access to the most advanced AI toolkit — for work of exceptional quality, with no compromise between vision and execution.

This season has no commercial brief — just pure creativity, backed by world-class tools.

The grand prize is an annual TapNow subscription. The best films will be screened on May 21, 2026 at the AI Film Awards ceremony at the Gray d'Albion, during the 79th Festival de Cannes. The authors of the best entries will also get a screening on a Russian national TV channel and a collaboration offer from one of Russia's leading animation studios. But more on that a little later.

Season Seven is the final season of MyFilm48's partnership with our like-minded French colleagues at AI Film Awards. The Cannes ceremony will showcase the best entries from the two previous seasons as part of a unified international program built over several months of joint work.
