As creation evolves, evaluation moves forward.
Since its beginnings in 2024, HKAIIFF has explored how AI changes moving-image creation. For 2027, seven Unicorn Awards recognise complete works, continuing creative achievements and new narrative, audiovisual and experiential expression.
Developing appropriate ways to evaluate AI-native film remains the festival’s mission. Emotion, thought, culture and completeness still matter; the new framework helps different creative approaches be understood accurately. The 2026 awards and laureate records remain intact.
