This year, BIFAN has embarked on a new phase of expansion and rebranding, extending the scope of the film festival. Moreover, in alignment with the burgeoning era of AI in the global content industry, We are proud to introduce the inaugural AI Film International Competition section, marking the first of its kind among domestic international film festivals.

Additionally, we are hosting an AI Conference, providing access to the latest information on AI content production and insights from pioneers worldwide. Furthermore, we are organizing AI Workshops in a hackathon format, offering opportunities to explore the realities and potentials of artificial intelligence technology, and to challenge existing constraints. These initiatives will serve as powerful catalysts for emerging creators who may face difficulties in attracting large-scale investments, fostering a future of cinema that is both creative and innovative.
