10 YEARS OF FILMMAKING THOUSANDS OF FILMMAKERS BEFORE & AFTER GENERATIVE AI TRACKING CREATIVE CHANGE

Since 2016, We Are Moving Stories has documented the work and experiences of thousands of independent filmmakers around the world. Through more than 3,500 films and first-person interviews, filmmakers have told us why they make their work, how they make it, the challenges they face, how they reach audiences and what happens next. The result is a unique longitudinal record of independent filmmaking across a decade of profound technological and cultural change. Now we're returning to that community to understand the next transformation: how generative AI is changing filmmaking.

A GLOBAL FILMMAKING COMMUNITY

For ten years, WAMS has gone looking for filmmakers and stories worth discovering. More than half of our contributors are women, and our 3,500+ films span countries, cultures, identities and every kind of filmmaking - from documentary and drama to horror, animation, comedy and sci-fi.


EXPLORE WAMS


A Global Festival of Film and Filmmakers

 

WAMS is built around filmmakers telling the stories behind their films. Since 2016, more than 3,500 films and filmmakers have been part of We Are Moving Stories: sharing why they made their work, how they made it, what they learned and how they found their audience. We're still discovering new films and new voices. And we're going back to filmmakers we've met over the past ten years to find out what's changed. If you've made a film and have a story to tell, we want to hear from you.
