WAVES International Short Film Festival – Goa 3.0 (WISFF) is a vibrant platform that celebrates the best in independent and world short cinema. WAVES is more than a festival, it is a movement to empower emerging voices and spotlight diverse stories. After successfully organising two editions in Goa, with over 500 short film entries and around 250 curated screenings, WISFF has also hosted four editions of a 60-hour filmmaking challenge. Growing beyond borders, WAVES is now expanding nationally; in 2025, the festival reached Dehradun in Uttarakhand, marking the beginning of its journey to multiple cities across India and soon, to global destinations as a truly international celebration of short films and creative storytelling.
"We particularly value highly artistic and aesthetic films—short and feature, documentary and narrative—that explore various aspects of life. Above all, we have a deep appreciation for catharsis."
Film Award is organized by the MYTH Foundation, an international cultural community that supports Ukraine's resistance through art. The Foundation is a non-profit, apolitical non-governmental organization. Its primary goals are the promotion of Ukraine abroad, supporting the morale of the Ukrainian people, creating professional national cultural products, and developing cultural diplomacy and cooperation with Ukrainian and international institutions in the fields of culture and cinema.
The MYTH Social Impact Film Award is an international platform that amplifies the voices of artists and projects standing in solidarity with Ukraine. The award focuses on films about the war, the lives of civilians in combat zones, acute social issues, justice, resistance to Russian propaganda, as well as works documenting or highlighting human rights violations during the war.
On November 15, 2025, the MYTH Foundation launched and held the first MYTH Social Impact Film Award, bringing together participants from 33 countries of the free world to support Ukraine. The "Madonna and Child in a Shelter," the main award and symbol of the film prize, found its home in London and Rome, Berlin and Paris, Istanbul and Warsaw, New York and Delhi, Toronto and Kramatorsk—becoming a fond memory of Ukraine and a symbolic talisman for filmmakers worldwide.
The 2nd Film Award is dedicated to the strength of the human spirit and the unwavering will to live. We present works centered on themes of humanity and struggle, freedom and love. Our country is enduring a horrific war, yet it continues to love, live, hope, and fight. Now more than ever, there is a need for life-affirming, powerful stories—dramatic and comedic, quiet and loud—diverse in their essence.
The main theme is: "Love for Life – Against All Odds." This theme unites national and international films of various genres around humanistic values, maintaining a focus on the Ukrainian experience of war while offering the audience a sense of hope and support from around the world.
The Film Award is scheduled as a tour across Ukraine in June 2026, with main events in Kyiv and screenings for regional audiences in Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk.
The 2nd Film Award will feature the following Main Sections, including both narrative and documentary projects:
National Feature Film

Our association aims to create a film festival celebrating emotions to complement and revitalize the cultural offerings in rural areas, rooted in
its territory of Remiremont and the Vosges Mountains.
Surprise, fear, sadness, anger, joy... Cinema is characterized by these words, these EMOTIONS; everyone has film memories, powerful moments, personal or collective, touching, experienced thanks to cinema.
What a surprise it was when we realized that
EMOTIONS didn't have THEIR OWN Festival!
Emotions are at the heart of our lives; they speak to everyone, regardless of age or background. It's about telling the world in our
way, succeeding in making others visible and making them understand that we share a common humanity with them—this is the very heart of the project. This festival aims to be welcoming, accessible, open to a wide audience, and participatory;
exchange is its essence. In short, a festival that makes you feel good.
THE HUECC FESTIVAL is a film festival that seeks through itself a space for the construction of new community film schools. It was born from the Homonimo project carried out in 2018 TO MAKE A FILM SCHOOL, a space where different Latin American audiovisual groups came together to lay the foundations to create a film school in Solano/Quilmes.
Currently, this initial experience and through the festival could give shape to the ARROYO SCHOOL, which brings together 40 boys, girls and young people from the neighborhoods on one side of the Las Piedras stream.
Everything raised by this festival is intended to continue with the community film experience and the future construction of the first community film school in Argentina.
All genres, formats and durations are accepted. A selection will be made for the best organization and programming of the Festival. We will take into account formal experimentation and aesthetic risk
We freely accept all kinds of short and feature films without restriction on the production date.
CINEFAB International Independent Film Festival – Second Edition (2026)
The CINEFAB Film Festival celebrates its second edition as a space dedicated to independent cinema and emerging audiovisual voices. Created with the purpose of supporting new productions, the festival aims to provide a professional, accessible, and welcoming platform for filmmakers who wish to share their work with an audience interested in authentic and creative storytelling.
CINEFAB is a growing festival focused on creating real exhibition and visibility opportunities for short films, feature films, and independent projects from different parts of the world. We are committed to a carefully curated selection process and to fostering an environment that encourages meaningful exchange among creators.
By participating in CINEFAB 2026, your production will have access to the following benefits:
Your production will become part of our independent film streaming platform.
Promotion and exposure of your work to a broad audience.
The opportunity to gain recognition within the film industry.
CINEFAB continues to build a community that values cinema as a form of artistic expression, cultural exchange, and professional growth.
It is a party that combines different languages, platforms and materials that revolve around audiovisual and cinematographic language. It calls for works from all backgrounds, emphasizing urban, rural and community-based community productions produced by Latin American peoples who are in search of their own image and propose different perspectives that do not find a space in the commercial distribution network.
The competition conditions the creator to submit to the taste of a jury, limiting in many cases the creative options of filmmakers whose works do not respond to the logic of the film industry; So we propose a non-competitive festival where the objective, rather than winning an award or recognition, is to share the experience of the realization itself, the search for the image and the reality that it reflects.
An open, plural, democratic party, which invites all sovereign achievements to join in dreaming and being part of the force that constitutes the different, critical, silenced looks. Inviting national and international allies to add as many voices to that search for their own image and audiovisual sovereignty.
Works made in neighborhoods and community cinema by more people making audiovisual and less stars of the film industry. Decentralized projection sites, to bring the audiovisual to where people are and (re) take the street for public and free cultural action, for love, not for business. A meeting, production, reflection and discussion space, on topics that concern us and that are embodied in the films that are screened and in the workshops that take place during the week, because we celebrate the audiovisual as a weapon of struggle for our free expression.

The Fundación Sindical Ateneo 1º de Mayo announces the 5th Proceso 1001 Audiovisual Content Competition. Its aim is to give well-deserved recognition to short films that highlight the value of the world of work, the culture it generates, solidarity, gender equality, struggle, victories, and everything that helps to place the narrative of trade-union and feminist life and struggle within society.
Aware of the importance of training and organization for workers, this competition bears the name Proceso 1001 as a tribute and in remembrance of the ten trade unionists who were members of the leadership of the clandestine Comisiones Obreras and who were arrested in 1972, tried, and sentenced by the Public Order Court of the Franco dictatorship.
The current call has modified some of its rules, increasing the screening of competing short films, changing the prize structure, bringing forward the final submission deadline, channeling submissions through a single entry route, and reducing both the maximum duration of the works and the number of short films allowed per participant.

In its sixth edition alone, held from October 22 to 26, 2024, 818 people participated in on-site activities.

1st International Film Festival Ilsenburg (I.F.I.) 2026
A “new little Locarno” in the Harz Mountains –
new international cinema in a medieval Romanesque setting
The 1st I.F.I. 2026 is more than a film festival – it marks the birth of a new cultural beacon in the Harz Mountains and Saxony-Anhalt.
In the atmospheric architecture of the monastery and castle high above the town of Ilsenburg, we will be presenting new international and national cinema from September 24 to 27, 2026, framed by one of Germany's most famous hiking and nature areas, the Harz National Park – and at the most beautiful time of year: the “golden autumn.”
Ilsenburg is an established and popular health resort and attracts thousands of tourists from all over Europe every year due to its particularly mild climate. As the ideal starting point for a hike up the highest mountain in northern Germany, the town is also known as the “Gateway to the Brocken.”
As Saxony-Anhalt's youngest and only location-based international film festival, from 2026 we will offer filmmakers from all over the world a setting that is probably unique in the world: the almost 1000-year-old UNESCO-worthy Romanesque castle and monastery complex with fantastic views of the surrounding Harz Mountains.
In official cooperations with the `City of Ilsenburg`, the ´Ilsenburg Monastery Foundation`, the `Friends and Supporters of Ilsenburg Monastery Association` and sponsors from business and industry the first I.F.I. will show latest film productions, including world-, German-, and European premieres. International feature films, short films, and documentaries will be screened in five different competition categories before the I.F.I. Awards will be presented for the first time in various categories: the main prize, the IFI2026 for the best international feature film.
Throughout the I.F.I. days, after selected screenings, industry professionals—invited directors, actors, and producers—will engage in a close intellectual exchange with the audience in the form of Q&A events or exclusive film talks. A film-related accompanying program of seminars and workshops with filmmakers and a (film) music program will round off the first I.F.I.
