**2026 marks a turning point for creative technology.**

Generative video is emerging as a new creative primitive, reshaping how stories are imagined, produced, and shared across film, advertising, education, entertainment, and the internet at large.

The **fal x Sequoia Video Hackathon** is a** 72-hour** global build sprint for creative technologists, filmmakers, developers, designers, and creators pushing the frontier of AI-native storytelling.

Think Cannes or Sundance for the tinkerers, builders, dreamers, and hackers: a festival-meets-hackathon for people experimenting with new tools, testing frontier models, prototyping strange ideas, and building original video work that would have taken giant teams and budgets to produce before.

The event will begin with workshops, talks, and partner programming, followed by a 72-hour sprint where participants will create and submit short-form video projects with generous token budgets and competitive prizes.

Expect leading AI creators, creative engineers, filmmakers, and builders from across the industry. Judges, mentors, speakers, partners, and prize details will be announced soon.

*Note: This event is fully virtual. Space is limited. Maximum team size is four. All participants must apply and be approved to attend.*  
  
*Applications for this event will be closing on July 16th. If you or your team would like to participate in this event, please apply by end of day July 15th to be considered for the competition.*
