Ouchy Film Awards combines a film and screenplay competition with public screenings in Lausanne, Switzerland. It accepts narrative features, shorts and unproduced scripts from around the world. Its editorial focus, Cinema through the lens of AI, connects film selection with artificial intelligence analysis and the assessments of a human jury. The programme also includes discussions with film and data specialists and pitching sessions.

The fifth edition’s dates are 14–16 July 2022, with cinema and open-air screenings. The sixth edition is subject to a funding-related postponement, announced by the organisers for 2024.
