Cannes Film Festival Says the Wall Street Journal Is Wrong: It’s Not Debuting an AI-Generated Feature Film This Week

Cannes organizers said the AI-made film “Hell Grind” was not part of the official festival lineup.

The screening in question was a third-party industry event linked to Marché du Film, not an official Cannes selection.

The filmmakers said the event still belonged to the Cannes ecosystem, highlighting confusion over festival recognition and publicity.
