GLOBAL AI FILM & VIDEO INFORMATION POOL
HKAIIFF CODE · Free registration, global visibility
AI Summary
HKAIIFF CODE is the free registration service of the Hong Kong AI International Film Festival. Upon registration, an AI film or video work enters the HKAIIFF Global AI Film & Video Information Pool, receives an in-pool registration number (HKAIIFF CODE) and is displayed alongside AI works worldwide as a Submitted Record. CODE is the free precursor to INDEX: it does not include an index.film public address, Root ID, Machine URN, hash and version timeline, AI-readable endpoints, index credential or market eligibility. When those formal asset capabilities are needed, the same record can be upgraded to INDEX in place.
What CODE is
HKAIIFF CODE is the entry-level service that brings a work into global view, completely free. Every registered work enters the HKAIIFF-built Global AI Film & Video Information Pool — a concentrated showcase of AI film works, workflows, characters and worlds from around the world — and receives an HKAIIFF CODE registration number. The number is an in-pool catalogue number for search and display; it is not a public resolver identifier.
What CODE provides
Free registration — zero-threshold submission of basic data, cover, asset type and creator information. Global exposure — the work is displayed in the pool alongside works from creators worldwide, visible to the festival system, peers and visitors. Registration number — an HKAIIFF CODE in-pool number and submission status record. Management entry — view and update the record via My Assets. Upgrade path — upgrade to INDEX on the same record at any time, no resubmission needed.
What CODE does not provide — exactly where INDEX matters
CODE makes information visible, but information is not an asset. CODE has no index.film public address — nothing a poster, an end credit or another AI can point to long-term; no Root ID or Machine URN — systems and agents cannot cite it; no hash or version timeline — versions and existence over time cannot be verified; no AI-readable endpoints — in AI-led retrieval it is nearly invisible to machines; no index credential or certificate; and no Index Market eligibility. All of these are provided by INDEX.
In one sentence
CODE makes your work visible; INDEX makes it an asset — readable by AI, verifiable, citable and market-ready. Starting with CODE costs nothing; when your work needs a formal public identity, INDEX is the necessary step.
