CinEuphoria Awards are an annual event from CinEuphoria blog that took place for the first time in January 2010 and, since then, takes place each year on January 13th when all the winners are announced. At this online film festival with a jury composed by a group of moviegoers, the main purpose is to celebrate cinema as a whole, reviewing all the films regardless of it's origin, lenght or director.
Each short film represents time, decisions, a way of seeing, of telling, and of expressing.
In its 15th edition, El Festivalico continues to receive works from all over the world, each one very different from the others.
Not all of them are screened.
The selection is carried out by a team with diverse sensibilities and perspectives.
This process takes us months of viewing, always approached with the utmost respect and rigor for every work received.
Over the years, some of the selected works have continued their journey, later being selected and awarded at the Goya Awards, among other recognitions.
But all of them are part of the same thing:
the need to tell stories and to be seen.
For a few days, a selection of these stories is shared and experienced.

12th NEZ International Film Festival (NIFF)
25th to 28th March , 2027
NEZ stands for simplicity of life and existence. NEZ is not a corporate, nor an NGO; in fact no standard term can describe NEZ. It simply is a platform for beings in this planet to come forward, and come together and explore their collective talents for the progress of the world and beyond. We have long enough thought about espousing our cause and ours alone. Now we think together. It is a platform to promote excellence in Education, Arts, Literature, Films, Medicine, Science, Research, Community Service etc. The philosophy at NEZ is very simple. We share collective fate. We seek new thought patterns that shall shape this world and the universe in times to come.
NEZ International Film Festival (NIFF) stands for best of world cinemas in the categories of Feature Films, Short Films, Documentaries Films and Ad Films. A platform of NIFF is meant for bringing undiscovered pure talents before a larger audience of the world.
NIFF is an umbrella; it is a conglomeration of niche festivals under one category. We treat the entire event as a visual carnival. The purpose of the festival is to celebrate everything the visual medium of cinema has to offer. We are now stepping into 3rd year of our Journey and proudly announce two more categories from this year.
1. “The Smart Phone Cinema”
NIFF always Endeavour to create something new, something Path breaking. It strives to recognize and to reward challenging aspects of cinema in all its forms. To celebrate the impact of cinema in modern age, NIFF is proud to announce a complete new category from this year “The Smart Phone Cinema”. We would be accepting movies in The Student Category and The Professional Category. The movie has to be a minimum of 4 minutes and maximum of 15 minutes. Every entry has to be accompanied by shooting Stills, substantiating the movie was indeed shot using the smart phone.
2. NIFF GREENS
That which is Paramount is also fragile. What better example we can have of this fact other than the Planets Eco System or the Environment. Sadly the most Paramount things behind the survival of humans are also most abused by the same humans. We stand at a dangerous point. Our Abuse of the Planet’s Environment is leading us to sure extinction. We need to raise awareness of that.
Here at NIFF, we understand the Issue so much that we have created a separate category under the main festival Titled “NIFF GREENS”. It will showcase, any movie, shorts feature or documentary that highlights the issue of Environment.
The festival aims to support filmmakers who operate outside established institutional and financial support structures.
Its goal is to give visibility, in particular, to works produced without significant backing from recognized film schools, government funding bodies, or established industry networks.
The Masuku Film Festival aims to promote the dissemination of films, works and audiovisual material from all countries, in all genres and for all audiences, addressing topics related to the environment, sustainable development and the environment.
ANIMAR is an animation film festival where the magic of animation comes to life. Guided by a passion for captivating visual narratives, the festival presents a free and diverse program that engages children, teenagers, adults, film and audiovisual students, professionals in the field, animation enthusiasts, and curious people of all ages.
The festival takes place in the city of Rio de Janeiro, in the North Zone, in the traditional neighborhood of Marechal Hermes — a territory deeply connected to the history of Brazilian cinema and also to suburban popular culture in its multiple expressions. The region is part of the cinematic imagination of the Rio suburbs: affectionately nicknamed "Marechalwood". It has been the setting for landmark productions of national cinema and a space where fundamental works and filmmakers circulated, such as Cacá Diegues, Arnaldo Jabour, and Tizuka Yamazaki, whose films helped to build a sensitive and social perspective on Rio de Janeiro and its neighborhoods.
Beyond cinema and the arts, Marechal Hermes carries a cultural identity that also extends to its popular gastronomy, present in the daily lives and affective memories of its residents. The traditional generous sandwiches, affectionately known as "podrões," are a symbol of gathering, conviviality, and flavor, as is the famous "barata de Marechal," officially recognized as a Material Cultural Heritage of the State of Rio de Janeiro, according to Law 9.692/2022, sanctioned in May 2022, which recognizes the tradition of the snack sold at the stall of merchant Ademar Moreira for over 30 years, near the neighborhood's train station—a mark of resistance and suburban identity that spans generations and local histories.
Marechal Hermes also stands out for its cultural vocation, housing historical spaces such as the Armando Gonzaga Theater, a symbol of the neighborhood's relationship with audiovisual media and the arts, and reinforcing its role as fertile territory for film production, exhibition, and training. By occupying this space — between screens, animated stories, popular flavors, and living traditions — ANIMAR reaffirms the suburbs as a creative center and celebrates animation as an artistic, educational, and transformative language, deeply connected to the territory that welcomes it.
inDOCumentari is a film festival fully dedicated to the documentary genre, held in the city of Sabadell. Its mission is to promote and showcase documentary cinema as a tool for artistic expression, social reflection, and critical observation of contemporary reality.
