# Málaga AI film festival takes free entries until 1 December

Screenings run from 16 to 18 April 2027, and audience star ratings decide who shares a pool built from bitcoin tips.

Published 6 November 2026 by EuGFA in The Briefing. Interests: Screen and exhibition.

## What happened

AI Filmfest Málaga accepts AI-made films until 1 December 2026, uploaded free of charge to the platform IndeeHub. Categories are fiction, documentary, experimental and music video, with films up to 120 minutes. Winning films screen at Polo Digital in Málaga from 16 to 18 April 2027.

Viewers tip in satoshis, fractions of a bitcoin. Half of each tip goes to the film and half to a category prize pool. Viewers who watch at least 30 per cent of a film rate it from 1 to 10 stars, from 1 March to 16 April 2027, and the top three take 30, 20 and 10 per cent of the pool.

## Why it matters

For a maker, half of every tip reaches the film whatever its ranking. The rights clause carries the weight: entrants guarantee they own all rights and take responsibility for any copyright claims. Winning films stay on IndeeHub as paid streaming, so a model licence that limits commercial use, or another person's face or voice, needs clearing first.

## Still open

As of 6 November, the guidelines give no closing time and no rule on disclosing tools, and say categories may change. They assign 40 per cent of prize money to top supporters, IndeeHub and Bitfilm.

## For your film

Before 1 December, list every model, track and likeness in the film and confirm each allows screening and paid streaming.
