Cyber Kino
We. Future. Cinema.
About the festival
The entry point
to new cinema
Cyber Kino is a unique platform where the creative and technological worlds meet and cinema moves beyond conventional production. This is where the future of the industry takes shape, where new visual languages are born and formats appear that seemed impossible only a few years ago.
The core idea of the festival is to give talented people without large studios, multi-million budgets and huge teams a chance to enter the film industry through the new technologies that artificial intelligence provides. Today a single person with a strong idea can create projects that once required the resources of an entire film studio. Cyber Kino becomes the entry point for a new generation of directors, artists and digital creators.
