Hold the gate open.

For decades, the stories that made it to the screen were picked in rooms most filmmakers never got into. That gate is gone. A new generation of storytellers is walking through it, and the Austin AI Film Festival is the stage where they get seen. Building that stage takes real money — venues, projectors, prize money, the time to do it right. AAIFF is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Every dollar moves us forward.
