AIF 2026 expanded beyond film into New Media, Gaming, Design, Advertising, and Fashion categories, with screenings at Alice Tully Hall (NYC) and The Broad Stage (LA). This expansion into non-film categories while the Hundred Film Fund has not publicly disclosed any funded or completed films after 18 months suggests institutional scaffolding is being built faster than demonstration-quality AI narrative films are being produced. The festival functions as marketing vehicle while actual funded filmmaking remains slower.
