The Cultural Association ‘El Bujío’ of Segura de León (Badajoz), in its desire to pay tribute and remember Andrés Oyola Fabián, neighbour and friend of our town, tireless researcher and disseminator in the field of social and human affairs, organises, in collaboration and with the support of the Town Council of Segura de León and the Provincial Council of Badajoz, the Fifth Edition of the ‘Oyola Fabián International Documentary Film Festival (OFFCINEDOC)’.

Once the participating works have been received and as long as they comply with the aspects included in the Bases, a selection will be made by the organisation and they will be transferred to an international jury made up of professionals from the audiovisual field and from different subjects related to general culture, as well as to other members that we will call ‘popular jury’, who although they are not professionals in the field, have sufficient criteria to evaluate the selected works, understanding that in this way, a fair evaluation will be made that will include both the technical aspects and the cultural value and knowledge that the works contribute.

Depending on the number of works presented and selected, different screenings will be held during the week of 17 to 21 August 2026, in the open air and totally free of charge for those attending.

To conclude the Festival, the Closing Gala will be held on Friday 21st August 2026, where the prizes will be awarded to the winning works.

AURA Film Festival

Sochi, Gelendzhik, Novorossiysk, Rostov-on-Don, Krasnodar Russian Federation, Russia


The word AURA has two meanings: it’s the atmosphere and the wind blowing. The name of the film festival was inspired by both of these definitions. Our film festival is an atmosphere of creativity, celebration and art. A whiff of wind is the wind of change and the point of films, as well as the wind from the seas, near which the cities of film screenings are located (the Black Sea, the Baltic Sea and the Sea of Azov).

The screening sessions of the films of the film festival are held in three cities at once. In the south it is Sochi and Rostov-on-Don, and in the Northwest it is the cultural city of St. Petersburg. Film screenings take place in cultural and youth centers, both indoors and outdoors.

We screen both fiction films, documentaries and animated films, as well as social videos from around the world. In addition, there is a competition of posters and photo projects.

Viewers of different ages attend our film festival. After the screenings, there is a discussion with the creators and organizers of the festival.

On the last day of the film festival, an award ceremony will be held, where statuettes, diplomas and gifts from partners will be presented to the winners of the film festival.

AURA Film Festival is a review competition of films received evaluation by the Selection Committee.

The Festival’s aim is to support cinematographers and to contribute to the development and promotion of film industries.

The film festival focuses on a variety of themes and genres.

It is a strong advocate for social change, and encourages cultural diversity and understanding between nations.

We are also including and actively supporting not only the finest examples of classic moviemaking, but works that are experimental, breaking ground in new non-narrative forms and crossing over into the video arts. All films will be reviewed as they are submitted, and the best in each category will be chosen to screen at the festival. Semi-finalist films will not be screened but will receive our festival laurels.

The final decision on the inclusion of the film in the Festival competition program is made by the Selection Committee which reserves the right not to explain the reason for the refusal and not to give any comment.

The winners are chosen by the organizing committee of the film festival.

The winners receive valuable prizes from sponsors and partners, laurels and diplomas.

You can only send an application for entry through the platform festhome.com. The final decision on the inclusion of the film in the Festival competition program is made by the Selection Committee which reserves the right not to explain the reason for the refusal and not to give any comment.

XVI Montevideo Fantastic Film Festival

Montevideo, Uruguay


Montevideo Fantastic Film Festival is the first Uruguayan festival dedicated to promoting national and international film productions related to horror, fantasy and science fiction genres. Its objective is to annually present independent and ultra-independent creations that are often considered "minor", and that hardly access commercial and cultural circuits.

It has sections related to short and long feature films in competition, as well as exhibitions, tributes to different figures of the genre, lectures presented by specialists, and promotion of different cultural activities that occur in the country.

The Montevideo Fantastic Film Festival has been declared of Cultural Interest by the Ministry of Education and Culture, of Municipal Interest by the Intendance of Montevideo, and of Tourist Interest by the Ministry of Tourism in Uruguay.

It was screened in the Punta del Este International Film Festival, LatinUy Film Festival ("Cinema Fantasy" section, in La Barra), Piriápolis de Película International Film Festival ("FantaPiria" section), as well as in several foreign genre festivals like 'Buenos Aires Rojo Sangre' from Argentina; 'Brasilia International Fantastic Film Festival' from Brazil; 'FIXIÓN Fest' from Chile and 'Zinema Zombie Fest' from Colombia.

The Miau Film Fest was created as a cinematic tribute to one of the most mysterious, free, and charming beings that share our lives: cats. This international short film festival invites filmmakers from around the world to celebrate, through cinema, the feline presence in all its forms: real, symbolic, poetic, or imagined.

Cats have accompanied art since time immemorial. They have been muses, guardians of silence, accomplices of solitude and inspiration. Their independence, infinite curiosity, and instinctive elegance make them authentic cinematic characters: observant, mysterious, unpredictable, and at the same time deeply human.

The Miau Film Fest aims to bring together diverse perspectives on these creatures that inhabit both our homes and our stories. It is also an invitation to recognize their ability to awaken tenderness, humor, reflection, and creativity in us.

More than a festival, Miau Film Fest is an act of love for cats and for cinema as a universal language. A space to celebrate the beauty of everyday life, the freedom of the smallest gestures, and the magic that happens when a cat appears on the scene.

The 13th Annual Toyama International Film Festival will take place in June of 2026 in Toyama Prefecture. With such great success in previous years, we are excited to once again share the visions of filmmakers from all over the world with our local community in the countryside of Japan.

Submissions will be open until March 22nd, 2026.

***


The Annual Toyama International Film Festival (TIFF) began in the rural prefecture of Toyama, Japan. Started by a few English teachers in the area, we hoped to reach people not just in Japan, but around the globe.

The first TIFF took place in a small room inside of a shopping center, where about 70 people watched the 10 films we had received. The following year was a tremendous success with over 100 submissions from different countries, quite a step from our first year. The event was held in the city of Toyama at a local independently-owned venue, Bodegas-Mambo with around 80-100 guests coming to view the films. Every year since, we hope to expand even further and provide an even larger venue for participants and the movie-going community in Japan.

Today, with over 3000 submissions each year from countries around the world, TIFF has become a highly-anticipated annual event and a staple of Toyama's international community.

Note: Due to time constraints, we cannot accept films that run over 10 minutes. However, any genre of short film will be considered for exhibition.
