Flux Festival, a celebration of bold innovation in moving image and sound, will return to Los Angeles in April 2026. Arriving at a moment when the future of creative authorship, AI, and intellectual property is being actively contested, the festival captures an unparalleled snapshot of the global creative zeitgeist, presented through a thoughtfully curated program of talks, screenings, sensory exhibits, and performances with artists and filmmakers experimenting at the very edge of what's possible in moving image and sound.

The 2026 festival takes place at Blum Gallery, one of Los Angeles's most celebrated contemporary art spaces, opened exclusively for the occasion. The gallery will be transformed, both inside and out, into a new media showcase. Day One is an invitation-only symposium — titled Copyforward — and Day Two opens to the public with a full program of talks, sensory exhibits, and performances with artists and filmmakers experimenting at the very edge of what’s possible in moving image and sound. A sneak peek into a few of the participants includes celebrated media artists: filmmaker Andrew Thomas Huang; creative technologist Tina Tarighian; multi-disciplinary dance artist and filmmaker Sara Silkin; and artist-director duo mots (Daniela Nedovescu and Octavian Mot). A complete list of filmmakers and presentations will be announced shortly.

The 2026 Flux Festival is presented in collaboration with Mozilla Foundation, alongside AIMS (AI for Media & Storytelling), a collaboration between the School of Cinematic Arts and the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism at USC, and the Center for Sports, Entertainment, Media & Technology Law (SEMT) at the USC Gould School of Law.
