Just as the aircraft lifts off, a nationwide emergency alert suddenly appears on every passenger’s phone. Cut off from all networks in midair, fear and confusion spread as passengers clash over what the message means. Even the captain hesitates between continuing or turning back.

The film pushes the boundaries of generative AI, indistinguishable from live action footage. Told through the reflective voice of a father chasing the memory of motion — a youth spent riding the rails, living between places, before the world ever decided who he was. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/14053e10-d6e8-11f0-9870-c97cdd2519ed-rimg-w500-h740-dc331902-gmir.jpg EVIL MASKDirected by: Wonjin KimRun Time: 14 minutes 30 seconds, South KoreaPremiere status: World PremiereIn 1920, a boy loses his parents and his sight to the demon Oni, brought into Joseon by the Japanese army to erase the nation’s spirit. Years later, he is granted power by the gods of Joseon and becomes a blind shamanic sculptor, carving the forms of demons that emerge from the darkness with his fingertips. As folk faith is trampled, he prepares a final resistance — sealing the Oni through sacred masks. Though he loses everything, the solidarity of the people and the united strength of shamans across the land lead him to complete the ultimate ritual of Ak-tal, risking his life in a last exorcising ceremony for Joseon’s fate. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/14da8f70-d6e8-11f0-9870-c97cdd2519ed-rimg-w493-h740-dcdbc188-gmir.jpg What RemainsDirected by: Vadim LascaRun Time: 7 minutes 16 seconds, United States / VenezuelaPremiere status: Phoenix PremiereWhat Remains is an apocalyptic mockumentary set in a dystopian near-future, constructing a stark portrait of the civilizational crisis unfolding in our world today. It is the present on the brink, where climate collapse, technological obsession, and social indifference converge in a scenario of self-destruction, all under the clinical gaze of an artificial intelligence documenting the process. Yet in the silence that follows the ruin, a fragile glimmer of hope emerges from the cracks of the system. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/151d64d0-d6e8-11f0-9870-c97cdd2519ed-rimg-w528-h740-dc5f1a14-gmir.jpg August 32ndDirected by: Yunbin ANRun Time: 15 minutes 0 seconds, South KoreaPremiere status: North America PremiereSejin, a boy on the verge of adolescence, is taken by his mother to spend the summer at his grandmother’s secluded mountain home. In the languid stillness of the countryside, time seems to stretch without end—until a girl named Heemin suddenly steps into his world. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/1554a170-d6e8-11f0-9870-c97cdd2519ed-rimg-w493-h740-dc010101-gmir.jpg ImagineDirected by: Augustus BoettcherRun Time: 7 minutes 44 seconds, GermanyPremiere status: Arizona PremiereAfter encountering a burnt down clearing, a young girl imagines if fireflies rebuilt the forest. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/15944280-d6e8-11f0-9870-c97cdd2519ed-rimg-w493-h740-dc767a2f-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/tempe/best-ai-short-films-chandler-international-film-festival/100001977638718644 - **Event Categories**: entertainment, festivals, trips-adventures, artificial-intelligence - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 17.85, max: 17.85, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Tempe - **state**: AZ - **country**: United States - **location**: Pollack Cinemas - **lat**: 33.3477898 - **long**: -111.9092355 - **full address**: Pollack Cinemas, 1825 East Elliot Road, Tempe, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Best AI Short Films (Chandler International Film Festival) - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/ba5b479abd7a6a9b7ef3bc65d112ff9be519171b1fd6c256a8847a52499ffb9c-rimg-w1200-h600-dcf7f2f2-gmir.jpg?v=1765495278 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Best AI Short Films (Chandler International Film Festival) being held? - **A:** Best AI Short Films (Chandler International Film Festival) takes place on Sat, 24 Jan, 2026 at 12:00 pm to Sat, 24 Jan, 2026 at 01:10 pm at Pollack Cinemas, 1825 East Elliot Road, Tempe, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Best AI Short Films (Chandler International Film Festival)? - **A:** Tickets for Best AI Short Films (Chandler International Film Festival) are priced at USD 18 per person.
