The greatest stories ever told — retold by you.
$10K+ WORTH OF PRIZES AVAILABLE
Fairground is calling on the world's most creative AI filmmakers to take the classics and make them their own. Dig into the public domain, pick a story that speaks to you, and reimagine it through the lens of AI. Any genre. Any style. Any interpretation. The theme is Reimagined — and what that means is entirely up to you.
How to get started
Reimagine Stories Like Never Before
Think Sherlock Holmes as a sci-fi thriller. Huckleberry Finn as an animated road movie. Hansel and Gretel as a psychological horror. Snow White retold as a workplace comedy. Romeo and Juliet set in a dystopian future. Dracula reimagined as a mockumentary. Don Quixote as a buddy comedy. The source material is timeless — now it's your turn to make it unforgettable.
Here's some more suggestions to get you started
King Arthur
Zorro
Van Helsing
Dorian Gray
The works of William Shakespeare
Beauty and the Beast
Cindarella
Moby Dick
Rapunzel
… to name a few. If you’re curious about what is considered Public Domain, check the FAQ below.
