What we do

The film at the centre, not the tool.

VIA — Visual Innovation Awards — champions film and AI across Europe through festivals, hackathons, screenings, and awards. It is not a technology fair: the work is the point, and the tool is simply how it was made.

The 2026 Italian season opens with the Rome AI Festival on 19 September, continues with the Turin Hackathon on 10 October, and closes with Florence AI Cinema Night on 15 November.
