The Aleph Edition, held on August 23, 2025, challenges filmmakers to use Runway's Gen-3 Alpha Turbo and Act-One tools to create short films in 48 hours. 'Exactly How I Remember It' by Holden Boyles wins the Grand Prix. Kartikye Kashyap takes People's Choice with '∞.' Ten winners are selected from a global pool of entrants. Recurring names from previous editions (YZA Voku, Javier De La Chica, Thomas Frenk) show a maturing professional community where the best creators keep pushing the boundaries with each new generation of tools.
