The Hong Kong AI International Film Festival Association says its newly launched AI Film Market completed transactions on 101 AI-made titles worth over $12 million, calling it the first at-scale commercial market for AI cinema.
Buyers include streaming platforms, airlines and hotels, with the association framing in-flight and hotel-room screens as ideal destinations for AI's ability to churn out multilingual, rights-clear content quickly.
Each title is tagged under a self-defined "51%-plus AI involvement" standard, and a festival spokesperson said buyers are paying for finished storytelling rather than an AI label, a claim the association's own press release is the only source for.
The full dispatch is available from the source below.
