ECHO OF THE CLONE received an Honorable Mention in the Best AI Film category at Ponza Film Festival in 2026. We are sharing the recognition through our official News section, alongside the festival laurel and information about our human-led creative approach.
Honorable Mention in the Best AI Film Category
The Ponza Film Festival laurel records the recognition as Honorable Mention, the category as Best AI Film, and the edition as 2026. Those details are presented together in our official awards and festival recognition record.
For journalists and programme editors, the full description is Ponza Film Festival — Honorable Mention, Best AI Film, 2026. Best AI Film is the category name; Honorable Mention is the distinction received by our film.
The laurel identifies the year but does not specify an announcement day or month. This news item records the 2026 recognition without attributing a more precise festival date.
Human Storytelling and Digital Creation
ECHO OF THE CLONE is our original science-fiction film at LUMERCATCH, exploring AI, humanity and ethical questions. The screenplay was written entirely by human creators. AI and 3D digital technologies assisted character development, virtual environments and visual creation during production.
That creative approach combines human writing with digital tools. The category designation does not mean that AI wrote our screenplay. Our official studio introduction explains the role of storytelling in our work, while AI-Assisted Filmmaking: AI and Human Creativity discusses the broader relationship between tools and creative decisions.
