Step Into the Deep End of Independent Film
July 2026 – Atlanta, Georgia
Atlanta Immersion is the city’s most unconventional film festival - a showcase for filmmakers, digital artists, and creative misfits who are redefining what short film can be through experimentation and technology.
It’s a home for fully AI-generated work, human-machine collaborations, and boundary-pushing projects in abstract narrative, unconventional animation, hybrid documentary, and mixed media.
If your film is too weird, too abstract, too tech-driven, or just doesn’t belong anywhere else, it belongs here.
We’re looking for shorts that challenge form, mess with structure, and bend genre. Whether made with code, crafted on instinct, or pieced together from beautiful chaos, we want the films that don’t play by the rules. Think surreal storytelling, poetic docs, abstract animation, or AI-powered visuals that other festivals wouldn’t touch.
It’s a full day and night of screenings, filmmaker Q&As, panels, and connection, all wrapped in the energy of a party.
We end the night with a celebration where creators connect, trade ideas, swap battle stories, and embrace the kind of work that thrives outside the mainstream.
We’re back for year two. The floodgates are open.
Atlanta Immersion started as Atlanta’s independent AI film festival. Now it’s something bigger. We’re celebrating all forms of experimental short film - whether made with code, cameras, instinct, or pure chaos. If your short breaks the rules, twists reality, or doesn’t fit the formula, submit it now.
