The +RAIN Film Festival is Europe's first international AI-generated film festival. The Festival focuses on new creative practices, experimentation and the integration of generative AI in the audiovisual industry.

+RAIN is defined as a transdisciplinary meeting place that brings together the most outstanding profiles in the fields of research, experimentation and AI-assisted film creation. The festival hosts the best international AI-generated film productions, and includes the presentation of ongoing projects and software developments for application in the cultural, creative and technological industries.

The festival explores contemporary filmic storytelling based on this technology, as well as its aesthetic, ethical and political implications.

The second edition of +RAIN will be held on 11 and 12 June 2024 in Barcelona, at the Pompeu Fabra University, and on 13 and 14 June at Sónar.


+RAIN is promoted by Pompeu Fabra University and ARSENAL and co-organised together with UPF-BSM and Sónar. +RAIN has Runway, a world leader in the development of audiovisual creation tools with generative AI, as a partner.

+RAIN Film Fest and AI & WEB3 Creatives Summit were born with the aim of internationally projecting the research and debate on the narrative potential of creation with AI, as well as its use as a tool for the creation of new languages in the field of media and film production.

What we wish to achieve:

  1. Encourage reflection around emerging technologies, especially AI, and their social, ecological and ethical implications.
  2. Showcase the most unique and outstanding creations of cinema, expanded audiovisuals and music with AI and emerging technologies of the contemporary local and international scene.
  3. Connect people from the fields of creativity, academic research, the cultural and technological industries, institutions and the social fabric; also people interested in and intrigued by AI and emerging technologies and their role in the world of creativity.
  4. Generate a unique meeting place in the city of Barcelona where you can enjoy surprising and unknown works, which open new paths to creation.
