Runway, a New York-based company producing a slew of AI filmmaking tools, holds an annual film festival in New York and Los Angeles. This year’s event, held last month at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall in New York and the Broad Stage theater in Los Angeles, generated 6,000 submissions and drew crowds to both theaters.

Imax is teaming with tech firm Runway to present commercial screenings of selections from the company's AI Film Festival.

Bringing AI films to IMAX theaters puts the tech-driven genre squarely in the cinematic spotlight as more artists turn to artificial intelligence as a collaborator.
