BAIFF – Burano Artificial Intelligence Film Festival returns for its fourth edition, cementing its now well-established position on the European cultural scene: as the first film festival in Europe entirely dedicated to audiovisual works created with the support of artificial intelligence.

Born in the Venetian lagoon, in a place where artisanal tradition has always transformed patience, skill and imagination into tangible form, BAIFF now marks a new threshold in contemporary creation. Artificial intelligence is not presented as a mere special effect, a production shortcut or a technological curiosity, but as an emerging language, capable of questioning cinema, storytelling, authorship and the relationship between image and thought.

The fourth edition brings together audiovisual works, short films, visual experiments and narrative projects in which AI plays a significant role in the creative process. The focus is not merely on the technology itself, but on the way in which artists, filmmakers, designers, writers and emerging creators are learning to engage with generative tools that are reshaping the very vocabulary of the moving image.

Throughout the festival, audiences will be treated to an international selection of competition entries, screenings, in-depth discussions and live talks with filmmakers, experts and industry figures. BAIFF thus becomes a forum for dialogue between cinema, art, technology and visual culture, where the most pressing questions about AI are not confined to theory, but take shape in the images, stories and aesthetic choices of the films.
