On Sunday 19 April, the Give(a)Go AI Filmmaking Hackathon v2 closes at the Savoy, Dublin.
A cinema premiere. A live award ceremony. One night to see what happened when 100 of Ireland's best creatives + builders spent 24 hours making films.
Semi-formal or formal attire is encouraged. And bring a prop from your favourite film, something small, something yours.
The day before, creatives and engineers whose credits span Netflix, Prime Video, and beyond gathered at Dogpatch Labs with a single brief: write, generate, shoot, score, and finish a complete short film in 24 hours. No placeholders. No demos. Real films, made with frontier AI tools, shaped by people who care about what ends up on screen.
Now you get to see what they made. Grab some popcorn.
Every film screens on the big screen. Five award categories, judged by people from across the creative and technical worlds, with the results announced on the night.
Register here for Day 1 to participate in the hackathon!
