The India AI Impact Summit 2026 will see an exciting AI Cinema Showcase under the aegis of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting that will explore the intersection of cinema and emerging technologies.
The event is organised by LTM, an AI-centric tech services firm—and its BlueVerse CraftStudio—in collaboration with the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC) and Waves Bazaar, a government-backed digital marketplace.
AI is not just transforming industries. It’s redefining imagination.

Taking place from February 16-20 at the Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, the India AI Impact Summit 2026 brings together policymakers, industry leaders, innovators, and creators from India and abroad.
This includes a number of big names, such as Google's parent company Alphabet's CEO Sundar Pichai, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, and Reliance Chairman Mukesh Ambani, among many others.
Highlighting good and creative cases of artificial intelligence use by Indian filmmakers, the Showcase aligns with India's larger aims of promoting human-centric, ethical AI.
This is expected to open up wider discussions connecting AI use in policy and technological applications with its use in the cultural and creative space.
"The Showcase will feature a curated selection of pre-created AI-driven short films, focusing on narrative strength, creative intent, cinematic quality, and responsible use of AI. Selected films will be screened at the Immersive Room AI Theatre at the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting pavilion," a statement said.
This comes months after the same organisations kicked off India’s first AI Film Festival and Hackathon, in collaboration with the International Film Festival of India (IFFI).
The event took place at the 56th edition of the IFFI in Goa from November 20-28 last year.
Just like the Showcase this year, this event provided a space for filmmakers, creators, technologists, and innovators to experiment with AI-powered storytelling tools and showcase creative use cases in cinema.
"Cinema has always reflected the power of human imagination. Today, AI gives us a new lens that expands our ability to dream, design, and express. The IFFI AI Film Festival will be a playground for that evolution," Shekhar Kapur, the Festival Director that year, had said in a statement.
