The fourth Gen:48 sees the competition mature. 'Home' by Ezra Li wins the Grand Prix. The roster of winners reads like an international AI filmmaking summit: Osvaldo Rivera Vazquez ('The King's Secret'), Faith Cho ('Clover'), Prasad Gori, Anurag Tiwari & Sagar Chogale ('Eyes on Me'), Nicholas Flandro ('No Pressure'), Mahmoud Salah & Karim Moftah ('I'm the Lamb'), Javier De La Chica & Guillermo Miranda ('!Dale caña!'), Matthew Berger, Kavin Kapoor & Ishan Modi ('How It's Made'), Alex Naghavi, Dan Taplin & Sara DeCou ('FEAST'), and Linus Mariscal Carulla, Max Ponce Pons & Dru Wu ('Aelita'). Recurring names across editions (Faith Cho, Javier De La Chica) show a professional community forming.
