It’s not just a press conference — it’s a glimpse into the future of media.
📣 What Will Be Announced?
This special kickoff to the Sparknify Human vs. AI Tech Fair & Film Festival will unveil:
- 🎬 A star-studded panel of judges, including leading professors in film from top universities, directors, actors, and animation pioneers.
- 🤝 Our official sponsors and vendors supporting this groundbreaking event.
- 🏆 And most importantly: the Sparknify Humanity Award, the highest honor of the festival.
🏅 Sparknify Humanity Award
In an era where AI is learning to tell stories, this award honors the film — whether made by humans or generated by AI — that best captures the essence of what it means to be human. As technology transforms the way we create, the Sparknify Humanity Award challenges us to reflect:
- What can only humans express?
- Can AI truly evoke human emotion and insight?
We celebrate both traditional filmmakers crafting soulful, human-centered narratives, and visionary AI creators pushing past the Turing Test to explore universal truths. This award inspires all storytellers — human and machine — to explore and protect what’s uniquely human in an age of intelligent creation.
