THE LOVE COMPETITION
AIME (AI Micro-Drama Europe) is a competition dedicated to short series created with artificial intelligence. Open to European creators, it aims to identify and support a new generation of talent in the duanju format. Participants must produce vertical mini-series (9:16), primarily generated by AI, exploring new methods of creation and production.
The program combines financial grants (up to €10,000), production support, and distribution opportunities. The goal is to foster concrete projects capable of competing in an international market.
Beyond competition, AIME aims to structure new AI-related professions in the audiovisual sector, by promoting the emergence of hybrid profiles at the crossroads of writing, directing and technology.
The 2026 competition will be announced at the Agde Film Festival in June 2026, during a dedicated event. The awards ceremony will take place in October at the Beausoleil Film Festival.
