“The Last Pip” by is the 2026 Bailey Award winner at AI Entertainment Con.

The Bailey Award is named for my daughter, whose journey inspired this festival. She reminded me that everyone has a voice and the tools help bring it to volume.

So this award isn’t about technique. It goes to the film that best carries the thing she taught me: that a story can come from anywhere, and from anyone, and is a blessing for others to experience.

As father and daughter we watch the films and she shares which one makes her feel something bc the moment we are in may have us connect with something unexpected.

Tunç, congratulations. Of everything we handed out this year, this is the one I hold closest. Thank you for making the film that deserved it.

Tell me in the comments: who is the person who made you believe you had a story worth telling?

And send this to them.

“Stonewall, The Making Of” by Talya Lotan AI is the Best AI Documentary of 2026 at AI Entertainment Con.

Every documentary before now had one hard limit: what someone managed to point a lens at. Talya went past that limit, and she did it with care. Not to invent history, but to let us stand inside it.

[One true sentence from you: a shot, a moment, or what a judge said in the room.]

I sat in that theater with a question I’d been carrying for two years. If the footage never existed, can a film still tell the truth? I walked out with my answer.

The tools are new. The responsibility to get it right is not.

Chosen from 754 films across 117 countries.

Talya, congratulations. Thank you for trusting us to showcase your film in the best possible format and experience.

Tell me in the comments: what story from history do you wish someone had filmed?

And send this to the friend who says documentaries need real footage. This is the conversation to have.

“Field Notes” doesn’t hand you a story. It hands you a way of looking. At the AI Entertainment Con hosted at Pollack Cinemas I walked out thinking about it, and I’m still thinking about it.

The tools are new. Curiosity is not.

arielko, Congratulations. Thank you for taking the risk, and for trusting us to showcase this in the best experience possible.

The concept, the tone and visuals were stunning and had the audience feeling!

What is your feeling and experience with experimental film? Tell me in the comments

And send this to the friend who says they don’t get experimental film. This is the one to start with.

The Judges Award goes to a film in any category that the panel can’t stop talking about. That’s the whole rule.

I’ve thought a lot about why this one stuck. Some films show you something. Some films stay with you. “Shining Yellow” does the second thing.

Shana, congratulations. You made us change the rules. That’s the highest compliment a festival can give.

Tell me in the comments: what’s a film that stayed with you long after it ended?

And send this to the person who needs to hear that not fitting the category is sometimes the point.

A Grammy-winning legend, an Americana songwriter, and a filmmaker with new tools. Nobody saw this one coming. 🏆

“Waking Up Dead” by Jim Stanard featuring Crystal Gayle, directed by Niko Bagratuni, is the Best AI Music Video of 2026 at AI Entertainment Con.

I’ve watched a thousand plus AI video this year. This one made me forget the tools were there. The song leads. The images follow it like they were always meant to.

That’s what a music video is supposed to do. Serve the song.

Niko, Jim, Crystal, and everyone who made this, Congratulations. Thank you for trusting us to showcase the music and video at the Prometheus Productions AI Entertainment Con.
Th

Tell me in the comments: what’s the music video you’ve never forgotten?

And send this to the musician in your life who thinks AI can’t feel.

🎬 Directed by Niko Bagratuni
🎤 Jim Standard feat. Crystal Gayle
🎛️ Produced by Kip Winger , who also wrote the string arrangement
🎸 Jon Skibic, guitar

There’s a moment in a dark theater when a room full of strangers stops breathing at the same time.

I felt it this year. During an AI film.

“Hold Your Breath” by Alexandre Handle is our Best AI Long Film of 2026 at the AI Entertainment Con🏆

The title wasn’t a suggestion.

I built this festival on a belief that these tools would let people tell stories they never could before.

Not clips. Not demos. Stories.

Sitting in that theater, watching a long film hold an audience from the first frame to the last, I knew that belief wasn’t wishful thinking anymore.

Congratulations, Alexandre. Thank you for trusting us with your film.

I’ll ask you all what I asked myself walking out: what’s the last film that made you forget you were sitting in a theater?

We are leading AI Films into theaters and cinemas.

Short film is our toughest category, and this one won on something most AI shorts are missing: personality. It’s funny. It’s charming. You can feel a filmmaker behind every choice.

Tools don’t have taste. Filmmakers do.

It says Volume 1, so we’re officially holding him to a Volume 2. 👀

Congratulations Sebastiano 👏
