Sudanese filmmaker Saif Eldin Hamza and Egyptian creative producer Omar El Naggar have won the PixVerse Special Prize at the UN AI for Good Film Festival 2026 for "Another Day," an AI-generated short film about Alzheimer's disease, memory, and caregiving. The award was presented in Geneva on July 9, 2026, during the UN AI for Good Global Summit. The festival received thousands of submissions from around the world, with ten films shortlisted before "Another Day" was selected for the prize.

The film was created entirely using PixVerse video tools and draws on Hamza's personal experience — his grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's four years ago. The story follows a woman living with the disease as ordinary objects become emotional triggers, pulling her between memory and reality. PixVerse co-founder and president Jaden Xie presented the award at the ceremony.
