Cinematic Luxe Indie Showcase — Fall Fest 26 is a 100% digital, international celebration built to give independent filmmakers more opportunities to have their work seen, discovered, discussed, and recognized. Running November 27–December 9, 2026, Fall Fest 26 brings filmmakers and audiences from around the world together for digital screenings, audience participation, filmmaker recognition, creative awards, community interaction, and the Weekly Cinematic Spotlight.
Our philosophy is simple: independent films deserve more than a submission confirmation they deserve a real opportunity to be seen. Every accepted project receives a digital screening opportunity during the Fall Fest 26 festival cycle, with eligible films also competing for a wide range of awards and special honors.
The festival welcomes short films, feature films, documentaries, animation, student and youth-led projects, international films, and TV/web series episodes, with no premiere requirement.
Accepted filmmakers participate through a FREE CLuxe Filmmaker Pass, while friends, family, fans, and film lovers can join the experience through a FREE CLuxe Audience/Guest Pass. This account-based festival environment helps us better manage screenings, maintain voting integrity, connect audiences with participating filmmakers, and most importantly help protect the filmmakers and the work they have trusted us to showcase.
Fall Fest 26 isn't about forcing hundreds of independent films to compete for one moment of attention. It's about creating multiple opportunities for discovery and celebrating the voices, risks, performances, worlds, and ideas that make independent filmmaking special.
Your film. Your voice. Your spotlight.
