Boston Silicon Valley AI Film Festival Announces 11 Awards: Yu Kuai's Earlier Wins Best Film
The 2026 Boston-Silicon Valley AI Film Festival announced its results on November 10. The event concluded on October 31 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in the Kirsch Auditorium of the Ray and Maria Stata Center, as part of the 2026 Boston Tough Tech Week program, with film screenings, two industry panels and 11 awards.
Earlier, an independently made film by China Academy of Art graduate student Yu Kuai, received Best Film. Yu wrote, directed, produced and edited the film. The festival awarded the Grand Prix to Seven Fleeting Days and the Jury Prize to The Origin of Splendor.
Eight additional awards recognized work in directing, writing, editing, visual design and music, including Best Music Video for Souls Between Two Worlds and Best Director for Blade of Fate.
Organizers said the Boston edition built on the festival's beginnings in Silicon Valley by pairing screenings and awards with roundtables that brought filmmakers into conversation with researchers and business leaders about how AI is changing visual storytelling and film production.
