This summer and autumn, James Drake Media is taking its festival presence even further, joining as Main Sponsor at two major international events: Warsaw Glitch in Poland and the Rome AI Festival in Italy. At both, we’ll be showcasing multiple new films from our slate, with several productions set to premiere in the coming months.
Warsaw Glitch — 28–30 August 2026
We’re proud to be Main Sponsor at Warsaw Glitch, taking place 28–30 August 2026 at the iconic Palace of Culture & Science in Warsaw. Billed as the first festival dedicated to the future of the screen in Central and Eastern Europe, Warsaw Glitch brings together over 40 international guests and 800+ industry professionals across three days of competition screenings, an International Producers Forum, hands-on education, and a Grand Gala, all under one motto: Your Vision, Powered by Technology.
It’s a fitting stage for us. Warsaw Glitch puts the author at the centre of the conversation around generative tools and new technology in film and animation, exploring how these tools multiply what a creator can do without ever replacing the vision behind the story, a philosophy that sits close to our own approach at James Drake Media.
Rome AI Festival — 12 September 2026
Just a few weeks later, we’ll be Main Sponsor at the Rome AI Festival, taking place 12 September 2026 in Rome. Positioned as one of Italy’s leading events for AI creatives, the festival brings together filmmakers, producers, developers, and AI creatives for a day of screenings, talks, and networking set against the backdrop of the city.
Multiple New Films, Coming Soon
At both festivals, we won’t just be sponsoring, we’ll be showing. James Drake Media will bring multiple productions to Warsaw and Rome, with several new films from our slate set to premiere in the lead-up to and during these events. It’s a chance to put our latest work in front of two of the most engaged AI filmmaking communities in Europe, and to keep building relationships with the creators, producers, and studios shaping where this medium goes next.
Building Our Festival Presence
Warsaw and Rome follow a busy stretch for James Drake Media on the festival circuit, from Seoul to Mallorca to our upcoming co-organisation of AIMA London. Each event adds another thread to the same story: AI as the medium, storytelling as the mission.
Stay tuned for film announcements, behind-the-scenes updates, and more details on our presence in Warsaw and Rome as both events approach.
