"Mongol Invasion of Japan" Wins Best AI Film at Two International Film Festivals

Singapore — July 2026 — 3JAI PTE. LTD. is proud to announce that its feature film Mongol Invasion of Japan has received the Best AI Film Award at the Los Angeles Short Film Awards and the Bangkok Movie Awards, marking a significant international achievement for the Singapore-based studio and its pioneering approach to AI-assisted historical filmmaking.

The dual recognition highlights the growing acceptance of artificial intelligence as a powerful creative tool in cinematic storytelling while recognizing the film's commitment to historical authenticity, visual craftsmanship, and innovative production techniques.

Mongol Invasion of Japan is an AI-generated historical epic that recreates the Mongol invasions of Japan in 1274 and 1281 under the rule of Kublai Khan. Through large-scale battle sequences, naval warfare, political intrigue, and personal stories of courage and sacrifice, the film explores one of the most dramatic conflicts in medieval history.

Produced by 3JAI PTE. LTD., the feature combines extensive historical research with AI-assisted script development, cinematic image generation, animation, editing, and post-production to bring an ambitious historical narrative to life.

"We are deeply honored to receive the Best AI Film Award from both the Los Angeles Short Film Awards and the Bangkok Movie Awards," said Lau Eng Teck, founder of 3JAI and director of the film.

"These awards affirm that AI can be used not simply as a technological tool, but as a medium for meaningful storytelling. Our goal has always been to preserve history through cinematic experiences that educate, inspire, and entertain audiences around the world."

The awards represent another milestone in 3JAI's mission to demonstrate how independent filmmakers can leverage emerging technologies to produce large-scale historical films that were once achievable only with major studio budgets.

Beyond entertainment, Mongol Invasion of Japan seeks to introduce audiences to an important chapter of East Asian history, emphasizing themes of courage, resilience, leadership, cultural identity, and the human cost of war.

Following the success of Mongol Invasion of Japan, 3JAI is continuing development of additional historical productions, including Mongol Invasion of Vietnam and Mongol Invasion of Java, expanding its historical film series that explores the Mongol Empire's campaigns across Asia.

The company remains committed to pushing the boundaries of AI-assisted filmmaking while maintaining high standards of historical research, cinematic realism, and compelling storytelling.
