LTM, in collaboration with NFDC and Waves Bazaar, under the aegis of the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting; will organise an AI Cinema Showcase as part of the India AI Impact Summit 2026. As part of this collaboration, LTM BlueVerse CraftStudio and Waves Bazaar aim to create a pioneering platform that explores the intersection of cinema and emerging technologies.
The India AI Impact Summit 2026 will be held at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, from 16 to 20 February 2026, bringing together policymakers, industry leaders, innovators, and creators from India and abroad. AI Cinema Showcase, as part of the India AI Impact Summit, will feature a curated collection of films created exclusively by Indian filmmakers, including individuals, collectives, studios, and students.
The AI Cinema Showcase aims to highlight Indian filmmakers who are engaging with Artificial Intelligence as a meaningful creative and storytelling tool. The initiative aligns with India’s vision of promoting human-centric, ethical, and responsible AI, and seeks to extend discussions on artificial intelligence beyond policy and technology into the cultural and creative space. The Showcase will feature a curated selection of pre-created AI-driven short films, focusing on narrative strength, creative intent, cinematic quality, and responsible use of AI. Selected films will be screened at the Immersive Room AI Theatre at the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting pavilion.
In November 2025, during the 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa, Waves Film Bazaar, LTM, and the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC), under the aegis of Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, successfully concluded India’s first Artificial Intelligence (AI) Film Festival and Hackathon.
