About Festivale Nike

Batumi Sport Film International Festivale Nike

Sport, as a specific type of physical and intellectual activity, has been the subject of interest in various fields of visual art since time immemorial.

The works created on the theme of sports present not only the dynamism and beauty of the sports spectacle, but also various aspects, traditions, customs, code of conduct and aesthetic ideals of the political, public and cultural life of this or that era and country.

Among the fields of visual art, the art of moving images - cinematography - was able to do this most fully and impressively. It is interesting that cinematography and modern Olympism
were born at the same time.


Sport is a rich and profitable material for cinematography. Many great films have [...]

The Sparknify Human vs. AI Film Festival is a global film festival exploring one of the most defining questions of our time: can machines meaningfully express human emotion—and what does that reveal about us?

The festival brings together traditional filmmakers and generative AI creators on the same stage, not to compete by technique or genre, but to engage in a deeper creative inquiry. Unlike conventional film festivals, Human vs. AI categorizes films by Emotion, asking creators to define their work by what it makes audiences feel rather than how it is made.
