TOKYO STORIES is an AI short film project in which TYO—whose company name incorporates the city code for “Tokyo”—produces original AI short films centered on Tokyo, collaborating with creators from Japan and abroad to depict the city from diverse perspectives and release the films to the public. TYO views generative AI not merely as a tool for efficiency, but as a new means to expand the possibilities of creativity in visual expression. As part of this exploration, the company planned this project and has released 14 works on its official YouTube channel.
Among them, “TOKYO GREAT WALL—Tokyo Wall” won the Jury Special Award for Best AI Film at the WORLD AI FILM FESTIVAL (WAIFF) 2026 KYOTO, while “TOKYO LIMINAL” was selected as a finalist in the same category.
Additionally, the films were screened as a standalone program at the Tokyo venue of the “Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia (SSFF & ASIA) 2026,” one of Asia’s largest international short film festivals and an official partner of the Academy Awards.
