The summit will be held at Bharat Mandapam from February 16 to 20, bringing together policymakers, industry leaders and innovators from India and abroad
AI Meets Cinema
The AI Cinema Showcase will feature a curated collection of short films created exclusively by Indian filmmakers — including individuals, collectives, studios and students — who are using artificial intelligence as a creative and storytelling tool.
Selected films will be screened at the Immersive Room AI Theatre at the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting pavilion.
The initiative aims to extend discussions on artificial intelligence beyond policy and enterprise applications into the cultural and creative space, aligning with India’s vision of promoting human-centric and responsible AI use.
Building on IFFI Momentum
The collaboration builds on earlier efforts during the 56th edition of the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa in November 2025, where Waves Film Bazaar, LTIMindtree and NFDC conducted India’s first AI Film Festival and Hackathon.
By integrating AI into cinema and content creation, stakeholders are seeking to foster innovation at the intersection of storytelling and emerging technologies.
LTIMindtree, an AI-centric global technology services company and part of the Larsen & Toubro Group, has been positioning itself as a “Business Creativity” partner, focusing on combining human insight with intelligent systems.
The collaborations reflect a broader trend of technology firms expanding into media and creative ecosystems, particularly as generative AI tools reshape content production workflows.
With India pushing to become a global hub for responsible AI development, initiatives like the AI Cinema Showcase aim to demonstrate practical, creative and ethical use cases — potentially setting the tone for how AI integrates into mainstream entertainment and digital storytelling.
