The AI Movie Awards (AIMA) festival is heading to London for its second edition on November 7–8, 2026, marking its first move outside Spain after a debut in Magaluf, Mallorca that drew over 300 submissions from 37 countries and 200 attendees from more than 20 nations.

A high-profile jury has been confirmed, including Hollywood producers David Barron (Harry Potter) and Tommy Harper (Mission: Impossible, Top Gun), Academy Award-winning VFX pioneer John Gaeta (The Matrix), VFX & AI supervisor Stuart Cripps, and Grammy-nominated artist Fab Morvan. Submissions are open with an extended deadline of October 10th.
