MiniMax (Hailuo AI) x Inspiring Asia 2025 Film Festival
Inspiring Asia · Asia Microfilm Festival partners with MiniMax (Hailuo AI) to call for submissions, using AI to drive social good
AI for Social Change
AI is redefining creativity, and we choose to be drivers of this wave, not just observers.🐚 MiniMax(Hailuo AI) has partnered up with “Inspiring Asia” Micro Film Festival as an AI Innovation Partner to introduce a special “Best AI Microfilm Award”, focusing on youth mental health. Through the power of technology, we hope to see more innovative expressions that are warm, thoughtful, and impactful.

The Mission: Youth Mental Well-Being
- 🌍 Theme: Youth Mental Well-Being
- 🏆 Prize: USD $10,000
Youth mental health is one of Asia’s most urgent yet overlooked challenges. Around 20% of young people globally experience anxiety, and nearly 1 in 4 show symptoms of depression. Many struggle in silence, facing emotional isolation while access to care remains uneven.
The festival’s call to action is simple yet profound: “To Be Seen.”
