Indonesia AI Drama Festival 2026
Nine days to go from a blank page to a finished AI short drama.
Indonesia's first festival for short drama made with AI, held online from 13 to 21 June 2026.
How it ran
The festival opened on Saturday 13 June with a kick-off on Zoom at 10:00 WIB: the brief, the tools, and a walkthrough for people who had never touched an AI production pipeline before. Production ran for the next seven days with no fixed schedule, mentors on standby, and free AI credits for every registered participant.
Submissions closed on Sunday 21 June at 17:00 WIB. Winners and creator partners were announced the same evening at 21:00 WIB, with a total prize pool of Rp 2 million.
Who took part
Open to anyone, with no prior AI experience required. Participants entered individually or in teams, and every entrant kept full ownership of the work they made.
