Gandhara Independent Film Festival 2026, 7th Edition (Online & In-Person)

STELLAR STORIES, ONE FESTIVAL

GIFF 2026 commits to curating some of the most exceptional films from around the globe. GIFF began with its first virtual edition in 2020 to allow a larger audience to experience a diverse range of films, particularly the cinephiles in Pakistan who were starved of a curated line-up of films which exemplified stellar storytelling. Over the last 6 years, GIFF has provided filmmakers a chance to reach out to a global audience and showcase their talent internationally.

The 2026 edition is imminent, and submissions are open. We are looking forward to riding the waves of emotions brought forth through your remarkable stories.

*Submissions are free.

Under the theme “MIRRORS: Beyond Reflection,” the 2nd AFI International Animal Film Festival explores the possibility of coexistence by reflecting the relationship between humans and animals.


“Beyond Reflection” goes beyond simply mirroring reality—it is an invitation to imagine new ways of living together. It re-examines the interconnected world of all living beings and encourages us to envision a shared future.

Selected films from the International Competition Section will be officially invited for offline screening at ODC26 (June 2026).

The 2026 AFI Awards is AFI’s official awards program that highlights creativity, technology, and ideas shaping a future where humans and animals coexist.

The program consists of three independent categories:

A festival born from creativity

In this second edition, we once again chose to focus on what inspires us most: talent. As part of a creative exercise within the Art Direction course, fourth-year Animation students, guided by our director Blanca Bonet, immersed themselves in a process of exploration full of references, concepts, and possibilities. From that journey, several proposals emerged, which were first voted on by the students themselves and ultimately gave rise to this year’s concept and official poster.

The inspiration for this edition comes from nature: those wild yet mythical worlds that inhabit our collective imagination. References such as Princess Mononoke helped us understand the relationship between the magical and the ancestral, between stone-carved figures [...]

11th EUREKA UNIVERSITY FILM FESTIVAL 2026

Eureka University Film Festival is a cinematic event primarily organized by students from Universidad de Bogotá Jorge Tadeo Lozano, in collaboration with students from different universities across the country and other professionals.


After 10 years, we have decided to give EUREKA a new direction, reimagining it for this eleventh edition. We aim to expand our horizons regarding filmmaking, both in its forms and creative intentions. In this edition, we are looking for honest cinema that connects with an emotional and/or spiritual need of the human experience.


Without limiting ourselves exclusively to university cinema, we are interested in works with a clear intention to tell their own stories.


We are seeking short films that [...]

The festival had its first edition in 2013 and has been organized annually since then by Associação Cultural Periferias in Portugal and Gato Pardo in Spain.

The project was born from a citizen initiative, supported by the municipality of Marvão from the beginning, and grew thanks to the support of diverse sponsors and collaborators.

Meanwhile, a new step was taken with the inclusion of Valencia de Alcântara (Spain) on the Festival map, thanks to the interest and involvement of the local government, Filmoteca de Extremadura and Diputación de Cáceres.

It is the intention of the organizers to contribute to an effective cultural decentralization.

We want to make accessible goods and services traditionally concentrated in big cities and which hardly reach rural populations.

The International Film Festival of the Central University (FICUC) and the Central University’s film program are once again present to invite students, alumni, and the public to the ninth edition of FICUC.

This year’s vision will be an invitation to reflect on a cinema that embraces Latin American diversity, rather than pursuing a model tailored to satisfy those colonial perspectives that seek to dictate what cinema in our continent should be.

The ninth edition of FICUC opens its call for submissions to all types of national and Latin American short films created during academic periods at the undergraduate, graduate, master’s level, etc. Likewise, short films produced outside academic periods will be accepted, provided they are certified by the participants’ university (such [...]
