Sin Cámara is calling for AI short films in Spanish, with genre awards and a June 2027 gala for creators across Spain and Latin America

Sin Cámara returns for its second edition as a dedicated festival for AI-generated and AI-assisted short films made in Spanish, run by Madrid-based Aplimedia, S.L. Where most AI film festivals operate in English and draw from a global pool, this one is explicitly built around the Spanish-speaking world, welcoming creators from Spain and across Latin America in a competition conducted entirely within those communities and their languages.

The format is straightforward: submit a short film of between 30 seconds and 3 minutes, made wholly or partly with AI tools, and in Spanish or without dialogue. Public voting closes 31 May 2027, and the awards gala follows in June 2027. That two-stage structure, open submission then public vote to pick finalists, means your film's reach within Spanish-speaking online communities is a genuine factor in whether it advances.

What to submit

Films must be 30 seconds to 3 minutes long. They must be in Spanish or contain no dialogue. They must be made wholly or partly with AI tools. The festival explicitly lists Grok, Sora, Runway, and Midjourney as permitted tools, but the wording "any AI tool" means the list is not exhaustive. Genre categories include action, animation, comedy, drama, sci-fi, and horror, among others noted with "and more" on the official page.

Entrants must be 16 or over and based in Spain or Latin America.

Prize structure

Prizes go to the top three films overall and to the best short in each genre category. The festival page states that prize amounts will be announced during the festival period, so specific cash or credit figures are not yet public. Anyone entering on the strength of a specific prize sum should check the official site closer to the festival for confirmation. The structure of overall places plus genre awards does give multiple routes to recognition, which matters if your film is strong within one category rather than competing against everything at once.

Terms worth reading

Entry is free. No entry fee is charged at any stage. The festival's terms regarding intellectual property and licensing are not detailed on the aggregator page; creators should review the full submission terms at sincamara.click before submitting, particularly regarding any rights the festival may claim over submitted films for promotional or screening purposes. The public voting mechanism means your film will be visible to voters during the voting window, so consider that a form of public disclosure of the work.

The geographic eligibility rule (Spain and Latin America) is worth confirming if you are a Spanish-speaking creator based elsewhere, as it may or may not extend to diaspora communities depending on how Aplimedia defines residency or nationality.

Deadlines and entry

The submission deadline is 5 May 2027. No cutoff time is listed, so submit with at least a day in hand to avoid any timezone ambiguity. Public voting then runs to 31 May 2027, and the awards gala takes place in June 2027 with a date to be confirmed.
