Screening: the Polish team’s films from the Machine Cinema GenJam™ Director's Cup 2026

A screening of the films made in the hackathons: GenJam™ and GenJam Online. These are not pieces polished over months but things built in a few dozen hours by teams that mostly met on the spot. That is why they show what finished productions hide: where generative tools genuinely speed the work up, where they fall apart, and what people do when there is no time to smooth anything over.

What it covers

  • What can you actually make in a few dozen hours?
  • Where do generative tools speed things up, and where do they fail?
  • How does a hackathon film differ from a production made over months?
