This study explores the characteristics and implications of AI-generated films by analyzing award-winning works from major domestic and international AI film festivals. By examining how generative AI technologies are applied throughout the filmmaking process—from narrative construction to audiovisual expression and emotional performance—this research reveals the paradigm shift that AI introduces into traditional cinematic conventions. Films such as Story, Total Pixel Space, Lullaby, and The Last Alliance demonstrate how AI functions not only as a technical tool but also as a creative agent capable of shaping narrative logic, aesthetic style, and emotional resonance. Furthermore, these works raise philosophical and ethical questions regarding authorship, emotional authenticity, and legal responsibility. The findings suggest that AI cinema redefines the boundaries of artistic creation by challenging anthropocentric notions of authorship and by fostering a new model of collaborative imagination between human and machine. This study offers a humanities-based perspective on how AI films transform the structures of media production and cultural meaning in the age of artificial intelligence.
