ABOUT THE FORUM
"Generator" is not another conference about trends. It is a gathering point for people who are already creating cinema in new ways: without film sets and multimillion-dollar budgets, yet with the same aspiration to tell stories that transform audiences.
Get Your Ticket Over the past year, AI-generated video has evolved from a curiosity into a tool embraced by major studios and global brands. Technology has democratised filmmaking — now talent and vision matter more than access to resources. The Forum brings together those at the forefront of this transformation: directors, artists, producers, and developers from Russia, Indonesia, Thailand, China, Singapore, South Korea, and France. Here you can witness what modern tools are capable of, learn how to use them, and find like-minded collaborators for future projects.

VENUE
ATOM Museum — Where Science Meets Art
The Forum will take place at ATOM Museum at VDNKh — Russia's largest interactive science and technology centre. Seven floors, 25,000 square metres, over 3.5 million visitors since opening. It is Russia's leading science education venue and home to the country's most extensive exhibition on atomic energy. Seven floors, three of which descend 18 metres underground, and architecture that makes a statement: twelve-metre panoramic glass panels create a floating façade effect — a symbol of openness and transparency.
A Unique Space
Here the history of breakthrough technologies converges with the future of cinema. Events will unfold across multiple venues: a conference hall with LED screen, the Lounge, Newton Garden, and Atomgrad zones. The lobby will host thematic sessions and an exhibition featuring works by Russian AI filmmakers and technology companies. This is a space where science meets art and technology gives birth to new creative forms. Atomic energy transformed 20th-century industry — artificial intelligence is transforming it now. It is only fitting that here, in a museum whose mission is to inspire the creation of tomorrow today, the "Industrial Season" of MyFilm48 reaches its climax.
Address
But what matters most is the philosophy of the space. ATOM has long been a territory where rigorous science meets bold creative exploration, where technology opens new forms of art. This is where cross-disciplinary collaborations are born, where the most ambitious ideas come to life. The museum's mission resonates perfectly with what the AI filmmaking community is building.
