AB  - Runway launched Gen-1 and Gen-2 in 2023, making video-to-video and text-to-video generation accessible to independent filmmakers and animators for the first time through a browser-based interface. Alongside the tools, Runway established the AI Film Festival (AIFF), which grew from 300 submissions in its inaugural 2023 edition to 2,500 in 2024, marking the formation of a practitioner community around AI-generated film and animation. Runway tooling had already featured in the Oscar Best Picture winner Everything Everywhere All at Once, providing an early high-profile professional case for the field.
