DUBBING GLAMOUR FILM FESTIVAL
8th Edition (15th ActorsPoetryFestival)
International Call 2026 — Filmmaker | Actors | Authors
Genoa, 12-27 september, 2026
Already supported by the MIC Ministry of Culture - Directorate General for Cinema and Audiovisual, the Liguria Region, and the Municipality of Genoa, the Dubbing Glamour Film Festival opens Call 2026 with a first: for the first time, the festival is combining the established competition for actors and authors with an international competition for filmmakers.
Each culture carries within itself a founding imaginary — myths, archetypes, figures that cross generations and borders. Cinema is where this imagination lives, transforms, and speaks in many languages at once.
The Dubbing Glamour Film Festival takes its name in Portofino, after 7 editions since 2012, on the Ligurian coast, where the Mediterranean begins its long journey to other seas, other civilizations, other stories. From the Pillars of Hercules to India and beyond: this is the geographical and cultural horizon of our festival. How archetypes leave the screen and enter reality with the transition from myth to collective behavior — for a festival on the political function of the imaginary.
In 2026, in collaboration with ROY FILM and the project on Disney, the DGFF inaugurates its first international competition dedicated to directors — with particular attention to emerging voices: directors under 35, their first or second feature film or short film, and Italian directors over 35.
The project invests in the audiovisual sectors —cinema, TV series, dubbing, audiobooks, script adaptation and screenplay— with a large program of screenings, masterclasses, round tables and speed dates with productions.
SECTION A — FILMMAKER COMPETITION

PRESENTATION
The TUWUN concept represents the Mapuche territorial origin, which together with KVPALME, the family origin, represent the Mapuche identity rooted in the LOF, a territorial space that in turn is the basis of the ancestral territorial structure of a broader space, the WALLMAPU, the entire Mapuche territory.
This concept of Mapudungun, the Mapuche language, gives rise to TUWUN Muestra de Cine Indígena de Wallmapu, created with the aim of making known through cinema, that identity and the realities related from ancestral knowledge and the way in which it is understood. life from the vision and relationship of each people with their environment, with their territory, with their own history, culture and spirituality and, therefore, from their own perspective.
In this sense, we believe that the TUWUN exhibition represents a valuable opportunity to learn about the way in which life is understood from the indigenous peoples' own culture and an important space to share the perspective and reality expressed from their own representative voices, through of the cinema. In addition to contributing to the decentralization of cinema and culture, generating a process of circulation at the territorial level and taking the traveling exhibition and its complementary activities to a wide and diverse public, in urban and rural areas, with the exhibition of the participating works in various spaces, such as Mapuche communities, schools and cultural centers in towns that generally have difficulty accessing the cinema because they are far from large urban centers, also generating Nvtram (conversation) spaces around its contents.
MAIN ACTIVITIES
TUWUN is an indigenous film exhibition that consists mainly of the realization of a Itinerant Exhibition, which covers various places in Wallmapu, the Mapuche ancestral territory (southern Chile and Argentina) and is held from the november month until June of the following year, where for the Mapuche people The cycle ends and begins again with the celebration of Wiñoy Tripantu (Mapuche New Year).
COMPLEMENTARY ACTIVITIES
Within the framework of TUWUN, we develop various complementary activities during the traveling exhibition. Among them, a TRAWUN (meeting), special screenings by guests of indigenous peoples and the Mapuche people, NVTRAMCINE (cinema forums), TUWUN screenings inserted in other film and culture competitions, screenings for schools and communities, special cycles in the summer season . And a workshop for the appreciation of cinema with identity, which we have designed for training and mediation with different audiences, such as children and young people of school age, adults, leaders of organizations, Mapuche communities, etc.

Do you remember the first film you saw on the big screen as a child?
For thousands of Mexican girls and boys in vulnerable situations, this question has no answer. For this reason, and for them, the Churumbela Children's Film Festival was created, inviting all children of Mexico, Spanish speakers, and speakers of other languages to experience cinema in an inclusive, playful, and entertaining environment.
It brings cinema closer to all children, with a special focus on girls and boys in vulnerable situations, people with disabilities, and families from different socioeconomic backgrounds. Through accessible and inclusive programming, the festival promotes film as a tool for expression, identity, and cultural formation, ensuring that children from diverse realities have access to enriching and participatory cinematic experiences.
The 10th Churumbela Children's Film Festival takes place in person with film screenings and activities in Mexico City and in Yucatán, where we not only program film screenings but also offer workshops and talks led by industry professionals.
The 10th Churumbela Children's Film Festival promotes creativity, dialogue, the seventh art, and artistic expression as tools for social transformation, and all of its activities are offered free of charge.
In this effort, this year the festival calls on filmmakers, girls, boys, and young people from Mexico and around the world to take part in its tenth edition. This call unifies all of the festival's sections into a single open submission process, aimed at facilitating participation and expanding the festival's reach in a decade of cinema for children.
This edition of the festival will take place in Mexico City from Wednesday, November 18 to Sunday, November 22, 2026, and in Yucatán from Friday, December 4 to Sunday, December 6, 2026.

On the border of Europe and Asia, in the 300-year-old city called the "Russian Manchester" in the middle of the Ural Mountains —
we organize an International Short & Debut Film Festival with a quarterly Official Selection and Live Screenings every summer, autumn, winter and spring.
NOW OPEN: Submissions for the IV Ural Shorts 2026/2027
Grand Prix: $1,000.
Ural Shorts is an IMDb Qualifying Award Event.
All Ural Shorts Winners of the Year — both films and filmmakers — are granted dedicated pages on IMDb, the world's leading film database. For those already listed on IMDb, their Awards section is updated to reflect their Ural Shorts win.
Ural Shorts consists of four Seasons and Annual Award Event.
Every Season the selection committee watches privately the submitted short films and chooses the Official Selection for the Short Film Section. All selected films enter the competition for the Season Awards.
Within 10 days after the Official Selection list is published the jury announces the Season Winners. The winning short films enter the Screening Program in cinemas and on television for all to see.
In the Feature Film Section, a yearly shortlist is selected. All Season winners in the Short Film Section and shortlisted feature films enter the competition for the Annual Awards. And receive an invitation to the Annual Award Event.
The Annual Event takes place in August in the 300-year-old city of Nizhny Tagil, on the border of Europe and Asia, which is called the "Russian Manchester" in the middle of the Ural Mountains. The winner of the Grand Prix will receive a statuette, a diploma and a cash prize of 100,000 rubles. The Annual Award Event consists of a cultural and educational program, the annual awards ceremony, screenings, TV interviews, workshops, and other activities.
The purpose of the festival refers to awareness of both the external filters on the screen, including censorship (commercial, ideological, aesthetic), and the internal filters of screen perception and projection, including self-censorship. NEFILTRAVANAE KINO is an exploration of aestheticization and commodification in art. The next aim of the festival is to expose the complexity, manysidedness, and variety of filmmaking.
NEFILTRAVANAE KINO (NoFilter Kino) is a film festival that is held by the Short Movie Club, the platform for cinematic projects. NEFILTRAVANAE KINO is ADAMI Media Prize qualified festival. The International Film Studies Conference is held at the same time as the film festival. In this way, film theory and practice are integrated together at the NEFILTRAVANAE KINO.
Originally the festival was held in Belarus, but because of political repression and publicly stated anti-war stance, screenings and events can be held in different countries. First of all in Poland (Warsaw), Germany (Berlin, Hamburg), Lithuania (Vilnius). For example, the 11th and 10th Nefiltravanae Kino took place in Warsaw, Berlin, Hamburg, Vilnius and Helsinki. The content of past years' film programs can be found on the website https://shortmovie.club/programmes/
The festival will be held in a hybrid format. We will have a part of live screenings and online screenings on a video platform https://film.nofilterkino.org/ . The video is cryptographically secured. In addition, we pay attention and promote films from our previous years that are released to the public on the Internet after their festival curcuit.
Nefiltravanae Kino involves theater, artists to interpret symbols and history. We work with the audience's reaction and participants' as well.
--------------------------------------------------------
The concept of the NEFILTRAVANAE KINO (NoFilter Kino):
ALIENATION PROBLEM
We live in a world of malls and cinema multiplexes. We see that indie cinema and non-commodity art go to the periphery of public attention. Primitive attractions replace the cinematography. The escape audience is alienated behind the big screen. So modern mainstream cinema is part of a manipulating tool that leads to the society of alienation. Thus the tendency is that indie cinema becomes more unreadable for the wide audience. We should understand the context of the filmmaker to understand the independent cinema. That is why the NEFILTRAVANAE KINO concept implies the physical presence of filmmakers.
FILM SELECTION PROBLEM
Filmmakers shoot millions of movies. And thousands of short film festivals organize screenings all over the world every year. On average, several thousand films are submitted to a film festival. So various good films can be neglected for whatever reason. Often selecting probability is like winning a lottery. As a result, filmmakers are left with no feedback. It is a paradox that no one can hear you in the age of the Internet! The mainstream culture prefers attractions and casual viewing.
Also, this idea is based on the film selection problem. Perhaps it’s no surprise one person, i.e. programme director at best, or even students of film schools make a preliminary decision to select a movie. Сoncordance of judges or previewers is more seldom thing than the difference of background, tastes. So selection or judging can be one-sided or perfunctory. It is not bad as the programme director has a good taste and aesthetic sensitivity, of course. But we’ve discovered another conception of “unfiltered cinema”. We matched it against “the best of the best” way. This way aids to perceive cinematic idiom without the dictate of art-curators.
CELEBRATION OF INDIE CINEMA
So the NoFilter Kino tries to avoid “the best of the best” way but it does not ignore it completely, sure. The festival selects fiction, animation, documentary, experimental and virtual reality sections. A jury awards the best film in every section. The festival holds the screenings at cinema theatres, the National Centre for Contemporary Arts, and art-spaces.
Our aim is to gather people in art, to have a dialogue to be happy with smart communication.
Cinema is art but not sport. The key point of our project is to establish communication between the filmmaker and the audience.
Please, read about the festival history through the link to the festival's website. http://shortmovie.club/history/
In Leda's Monologues we put our focus on Film Monologues and Special Short films with a distinctive voice.
We particularly welcome works that explore identity, human relationships, social questions, women’s perspectives, experimental forms and new approaches to storytelling.

With the name Illusive Eye the optical process by which animation occurs in our brain by generating movement from the illusion produced by the rapid exposure to images in sequence is evoked. Animation offers the construction of credible universes, capable of freeing us from the limits of immediate reality.
With the coming of current communication technologies, animation has gained even more ground than it had in Film, Didactics and Videogames. Now, with the internet and the power of cell phones, mobile applications and the interconnection of devices and institutions with the network, animation has become an essential part of the language of interaction between the user and the world.
This audiovisual language has extended its discursive horizons as far as the human imagination reaches, and technically its evolution has allowed it to overcome reality by opening a fantastic vortex that provides immersive experiences and high doses of empathy as well as tons of fans of all ages and throughout the world, developing any theme with great aesthetic contributions and various levels of depth.
In honor of this abyss of creativity and as an invitation to immerse ourselves in it, this meeting space has been created for creators, scholars and amateurs. Looking to show not only its strength in the current film narrative but the presence of other types of speeches built on this means of visual expression: GIFs, memes, stickers, emoticons, headers, symbols for social networks, interface elements, banners, promotions , and any type of element generated from the illusion of an eye.
The AI International Film Festival started as the world’s first AI film festival back in 2021 — before the hype. Independent and Non-Profit, the festival focuses on passionate storytelling, filmmakers with something to say, and educating the public about AI trends.
"It's like an Academy Awards or Golden Globes but for AI Films, now monthly" - R. Maggi Writer, Director, Actor

Winning videos are collected monthly and prominently featured for global screening across all devices on Eventive.org, giving your work the spotlight and reach it deserves.
"The format is super engaging, it allows for discussions between the filmmakers and the audience after each film is screened,” remarks Arthur Machado, Brazilian director of the Italian-language film Modello Linguistico Divino from New Zealand, "I got huge value out of it by connecting with extremely talented and creative filmmakers from all around the world, and getting real-time feedback from the artists and the audience."
“We had cutting-edge AI filmmakers from all over the world on Zoom discussing the tools they used and their motivations,” says attendee Ron Maggi, “The interaction between these filmmakers alone was worth the price of admission, but even the films themselves are really amazing."
Our festival strongly supports the rights and fair treatment of content creators and talent regarding compensation and intellectual property, everywhere in the process of acting, screenwriting, animation, directing, production, and all other activities involved in film making.
We encourage open discussion regarding the utilization of AI tools and how that affects people in the industry. We honor independent and student filmmakers from very diverse communities worldwide.
The festival seeks narrative, animated, or documentary films which focus on both risks and benefits of AI as well as films making extensive use of AI tools. How will AI affect our lives now and in the future?
How will AI affect filmmaking, industry employment, and talent?
Are there unintended consequences?
What are the benefits of AI?
Might AI become super-intelligent and take over?
We welcome films treating AI robots/humanoids, AI surveillance, biotechnology, AI warfare, deep fakes, privacy concerns, job market shifts, social media issues, AI singularity, etc.
In association with The AI Project, AI International Film Festival seeks to educate the public and increase awareness about how AI might change the world - both benefits and drawbacks.

El festival de cine Ópera Prima “Ciudad de Tudela” es un certamen especializado en primeros largometrajes nacionales.
Es un proyecto organizado por la EPEL (Entidad Pública Empresarial Local) “Tudela-Cultura” en colaboración con el Cineclub Muskaria, colectivo que cuenta con más de 50 años de trayectoria en la ciudad.
El Festival Ópera Prima de Tudela (Navarra), que este año celebrará su edición número veintiséis, es un certamen de cine dedicado a la exhibición de largometrajes de origen español que supongan la primera dirección. Esta característica dota al certamen de un perfil distintivo y, además, fue pionero dentro del panorama nacional.
Se trata del único festival nacional que apuesta exclusivamente por este tipo de cine, lo que dota al certamen de una particularidad que ha sido destacada en numerosas ocasiones por personalidades del mundo del cine español.
Además, otra peculiaridad destacada del certamen es que es el público quien otorga el mayor premio del festival, el de mejor película, con sus votos.
El tema de las sesiones para centros educativos también nos parece un rasgo importante a destacar, así como los homenajes a directores nacionales consagrados con la proyección de su primera película.
También hay que destacar que las proyecciones de todas las películas se realizan en el cine Moncayo, una sala que se encuentra ubicada en el barrio de Lourdes de la ciudad.
Entre los objetivos del festival destacan los siguientes:
• Impulsar la carrera de directores/as noveles para que sigan aportando su creatividad y trabajo al servicio del cine.
• Involucrar a directores/as, actores y actrices consagrados/as y otros profesionales relacionados con el mundo del cine. El jurado de este festival está formado por este perfil de profesionales que, de esta manera, se vinculan de manera directa con el proyecto.
• Crear un espacio de diálogo, conocimiento y cercanía entre directores/as noveles y profesionales con amplia trayectoria. De esta manera, se fomentan lazos de unión y se generan posibles sinergias y viveros de creación.
• Establecer un diálogo y feedback entre el público y el mundo del cine, a través del debate y charla que se realiza en la sección “Mi Ópera Prima”.
• Creación de nuevos públicos, poniendo especial hincapié en los jóvenes.
• Además de estos objetivos, es importante destacar que se pretende que Tudela se convierta durante una semana en una “Ciudad de Cine”, en la que la población de Tudela, su Comarca y Navarra sean protagonistas del certamen junto a los directores/as, actores y actrices y demás personalidades del mundo de la cinematografía.
• Fomentar el cine europeo, a través de la sección (fuera de concurso) “Mi Ópera Prima Europea”, en la que se proyecta un primer trabajo de un/a director/a europeo/a.
La Sección Oficial a concurso es la principal sección del Festival, en la que se invierte la mayor parte del trabajo. La Sección Oficial consta de la exhibición y concurso de siete largometrajes españoles que suponen la primera película de su director/a, seleccionados por el Cineclub Muskaria entre todos los participantes.
Además, el festival organiza otras secciones que la complementan y que hacen más atractiva su oferta, dotándole de mayor calidad e interés cultural y cinematográfico:
• Sección Juventud: durante la semana del Festival, además de los horarios de tarde para el público general, las películas se exhiben en horario matinal y escolar, para estudiantes de bachillerato de centros educativos de Tudela y la ribera. Esta sección tiene el objetivo de acercar el cine menos comercial a la población joven, de manera que se vaya creando un público crítico y con sensibilidad cultural y despertando el interés por el cine. Esta sección tiene la particularidad de que tiene un premio propio, el premio de la Juventud, que otorgan los/as estudiantes a través de la votación de todas las películas.
• Sección “Su Ópera Prima”: esta sección supone uno de los momentos más emotivos del Festival, puesto que se proyecta una película que, en su día, fue la ópera prima de alguna persona con una larga trayectoria dentro del cine español. Además de la exhibición de la película, se realiza un homenaje al/la directora/a, con la presencia de personas estrechamente vinculadas al/la mismo/a y un diálogo con el público. Esta sección ha acogido en los últimos años a personalidades de la talla de Mario Camus, Ana Diez, Francisco Regueiro, Pedro Olea, Javier Aguirre, Jaime Chávarri, Julio Diamante, Juan Antonio Bardem, Luis García Berlanga, Fernando Fernán Gómez, Pilar Miró o Carlos Saura.
En el año 2021 se incorporó la novedad de proyectar en sesión matinal las primeras películas de grandes directores para estudiantes de centros educativos de la ciudad. Ese fue el primer año que Su Majestad la Reina visitó el Festival para participar en este acto de homenaje que rindió homenaje a tres grandes del cine clásico español: Juan Antonio Bardem, Luis García Berlanga y Fernando Fernán Gómez. Esta sesión de homenaje se desarrolló por la mañana y a ella asistieron unos 200 estudiantes de los distintos centros educativos de la ciudad
• Sección Ópera Prima Europea: los actos del Festival comienzan en la semana previa al mismo y entre ellos destaca esta sección, en la que se exhibe el primer largometraje actual de un director/a europeo. La selección corre a cargo del Cine Club Muskaria y su objetivo es dotar de un carácter más internacional al Festival. También pretende difundir el cine europeo y los directores noveles, de manera que, en base a la misma filosofía que la sección oficial, se fomente un cine de calidad que tiene pocas posibilidades de ser exhibido y visualizado en salas comerciales. El éxito de esta sección se entiende en el contexto de la trayectoria del Festival y de la fidelidad de un público con gran interés en este tipo de propuestas.
• Sesión de Clausura: el día de la entrega de premios y previo a la ceremonia, se exhibe una película fuera de concurso. Esta película se selecciona intentando que sea una propuesta atractiva y de calidad, que dote de una nueva propuesta cinematográfica al acto de entrega de premios
• Sección Nuestros clásicos: en 2025, para acoger la visita de S.M la Reina Doña Letizia, quien no pudo participar en las fechas del Festival de cine Ópera Prima, se organizó este ciclo fuera de las fechas del festival, en homenaje a Alejandro Amenábar. Los actos se celebraron los días 24 y 25 de noviembre en el cine Moncayo. Este pequeño ciclo contó con dos jornadas: el lunes, 24 noviembre, a las 19:30 h., se proyectó la primera película de Alejandro Amenábar “Tesis” y se organizó un coloquio con los tres protagonistas: Ana Torrent, Eduardo Noriega y Fele Martínez. Este acto fue con entrada gratuita.
El Festival Ópera Prima es un evento totalmente consolidado, que lleva celebrándose desde el año 2000 (ininterrumpidamente salvo la edición 2020 debido al COVID) y que se ha convertido en uno de los eventos culturales más importantes de Tudela y, por extensión, de toda Navarra. El paso de los años ha supuesto la consolidación del Festival y, sobre todo, ha constatado la inmejorable respuesta del público ante un evento que es parte de su identidad cultural.
Este festival está dirigido por Luis Alegre, escritor, profesor, cineasta y colaborador de numerosos medios de comunicación y se celebra en el cine Moncayo. Este cine está ubicado en un barrio de la ciudad, lo que permite que el Festival se celebre en el corazón de Tudela. Su ubicación hace que la celebración del festival tenga un atractivo e impacto social mayor.
También hay que destacar de este Festival las personalidades que han visitado la ciudad a lo largo de su historia, tanto invitados de las películas seleccionadas a concurso como jurados de la talla de Rafael Azcona, José Luis Borau, Álex de la Iglesia, Agustín Díaz Yanes, David Trueba, Antonio Gasset, Jordi Bosch, Natalie Poza, Carmen Puyó, Verónica Sánchez, Montxo Armendáriz, , Juan Cruz, Ángeles Caso, Nativel Preciado, Ángel Sánchez Harguindey, José Luis García Sánchez, Ángeles González Sinde, Raúl Arévalo, Alberto Rodríguez, Borja Cobeaga, José Luis Cuerda, Fernando Méndez Leite, Pilar Palomero, Aitana Sánchez Gijón, Verónica Forqué, Carla Simón o Rodrigo Sorogoyen.

Films as Ambassadors. Stories as Bridges.
Cinema Father Presents it's 11th edition as- The Embassy International Film Festival-27. TEIFF-27 is a global celebration of cinema created to bring nations, cultures, filmmakers, and audiences together through the universal language of storytelling.
Inspired by the spirit of an embassy—a place where nations connect, cultures interact, and relationships are built—the festival envisions cinema as a powerful form of cultural diplomacy. Every film carries something of its country: its people, traditions, struggles, dreams, history, and changing society. In this sense, filmmakers become cultural ambassadors and their films become bridges between communities.
The Embassy International Film Festival-27 welcomes filmmakers from across the world, embracing diverse languages, genres, cultures, ethnicities, perspectives, and styles of filmmaking. From independent voices and emerging talents to experienced filmmakers, the festival provides a common platform where stories can travel beyond geographical, political, and cultural boundaries.
The festival aims not only to screen and recognize outstanding cinema but also to encourage cultural exchange, international collaboration, networking, and meaningful dialogue among filmmakers and audiences.
Many Nations. One Screen.
The Universidad Estatal a Distancia (UNED) of Costa Rica, through the Centro Agenda Joven en Derechos y Ciudadanía, in support of young audiovisual producers and filmmakers and with special attention to the young population in the country, is launching the 16th Audiovisual Showcase “Cortos de la Polis Joven”. The event aims to promote audiovisual production in Costa Rica through a culture of visual expression that reflects the creative imagination of young Costa Ricans and their daily experiences.
“Cortos de la Polis Joven” seeks to present these productions to all kinds of audiences within the university as well as to the local and international community, in order to foster and develop Costa Rican cinematographic production and culture. We believe it is important to open a space for discussion on how young people’s perceptions change over time regarding politics, social issues, daily life in the country, and other topics related to the region.
Finally, another objective is to raise awareness among young people about the production, exhibition, and creation of audiovisual works and the arts in general, as a medium to communicate ideas and engage in experimentation.
****Topic of the showcase: "Celebrating Human Rights"
****Subtopic of the showcase: "Hecho en casa (Homemade)" (Only costarican productions between 2023 and 2026)
The theme of the 17th Short Film Showcase “Cortos de la Polis Joven” will be "Celebrating Human Rights", which will include a special thematic category called "Hecho en casa" (Homemade).
Regarding the theme "Celebrating Human Rights", submissions may address any topic that, in some way, expresses the importance of guaranteeing, defending, and experiencing human rights on a daily basis (for example: education, politics, multiculturalism, environment, sexualities, the right to choose, human dignity, social equality, migration, among others).
Only the first 100 films submitted via Festhome will be considered for the festival.
