AI MOVIE NEWS - JUNE 2025
AI Movie News from The AI Film Company
June saw a noticeable increase in the volume and visibility of AI-generated film and video content. Key releases, festivals, and creator activity signaled growing professional adoption and wider audience interest.
Daisy, a German horror short released on KinoCheck, combines live-action performance with AI-generated visuals. Directed by Peter Thorwarth with visual work by Sebastian Ungrad, it has gained attention for its production value and creative use of AI.
Industrial Light & Magic released a short called Star Wars: Field Guide, an experimental piece that visualizes the wildlife of a fictional Star Wars planet. All creature design and animation were generated using prompt-based AI tools. This project reflects active testing of AI pipelines inside a major studio.
The Runway AI Film Festival held screenings in New York and Los Angeles, featuring over 6,000 submissions. The winning short, Total Pixel Space by Jacob Adler, and the runner-up, Jailbird, both used AI for image generation and scene construction. The festival highlights a rising standard in AI-assisted narrative filmmaking.
The AI for Good Film Festival focused on AI in socially conscious filmmaking. It showcased shorts such as SOULS OF THE SHIPWRECK and WHAT TO BE?, which integrated AI tools into more traditional production workflows.
In music, the indie band Velvet Sundown publicly confirmed that their entire presence — from tracks to visuals — is AI-generated. With over one million Spotify streams and a full set of synthetic social channels, the announcement triggered wide discussion on the definition of musical authenticity.
Tutorial content is increasing across YouTube and Reddit, with creators sharing workflows using tools like Runway, Suno, Pika Labs, and DreamFace. Music videos, in particular, are being made and distributed quickly, with AI tools allowing solo creators to produce full video clips using only text and image prompts.
Vimeo has rolled out new AI-based features for enterprise and creator accounts, enabling fast video edits, auto-translation, and collaboration tools. Creators are adapting these features for artistic use, particularly in music videos and experimental short formats.
