On March 20, 2026, the Creative Panel at the German Commercial Film Awards provided a platform for discussion, inspiration, and new perspectives on the future of moving image communication. At the heart of the programme was the question:
Authenticity in the Age of Artificial Images
How can creative authenticity endure in a production landscape increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence?
The 2026 edition also shone a spotlight on the crafts of Animation and Screenwriting, recognising the vital role these disciplines play in commercial filmmaking. Another highlight was the inaugural presentation of the AICA – AI Creativity Award, which was presented as part of the Creative Panel.
Hosted by: Britta Poetzsch
