For a century, cinema has absorbed the revolutions of sound, colour and digital without splitting into rival competitions. AI is the next chapter, not a chapter apart. SHAIKE brings all techniques together within a single Official Selection, judged by a single jury against a single question: does the film move us, challenge us, stay with us?
Every application declares its tools on the SHAIKE Index, our transparency standard. What earns a place at the Eden Théâtre is not the process, it's the work.
