Where to Submit AI Films to Showcases
Showcases and directories can give an AI film another place to be discovered. A curated application, a public catalogue upload and a festival competition do different things. Use the outcome recorded for each route rather than assuming every submission earns a screening.
Compare these routes ↓Understand what gets published
Check whether the service selects entries, lets creators upload directly or simply links to an existing player. Consideration is different from an accepted feature.
Check the viewing-link requirements
A showcase may need a public embeddable link. That can conflict with a festival-first plan, so read the release and premiere conditions before changing your film’s availability.
Keep credits and permissions clear
Prepare a concise synopsis, runtime, language and subtitles, poster, creator credits and an AI-production disclosure. Only send materials you have permission to share.
Compare showcases & directories
Compare the outcome, cost and submission window. Every guide is public; an account is only needed to save your private film plan.

How Brainy Movie researches submission routes
Published by Brainy Movie
Brainy Movie is independently operated by its owner. Research and writing use AI assistance, with automated source checks and administrator-controlled publication. Guides distinguish documented rules from missing evidence; they are not first-hand reports of attending the events.
Evidence before an eligibility claim
Guides link to official sources and retain quoted evidence. Automated maintenance is scheduled in three-day cycles. Changed editions, inaccessible pages and missing AI or submission evidence are flagged. A check date is not proof that every rule changed or was freshly reverified.
Unknown prices stay unknown. Existing restrictions can be retained from earlier evidence. The organiser’s current terms always control. Payment does not buy recommendation priority.
Corrections and your privacy
Browsing rules, prices and official links is free and does not require a login. Private film profiles, checklists and reported outcomes are separate account features. Passport does not send applications, pay fees or promise selections.
