IA en Corto is an International Short Film Festival dedicated to exploring new forms of audiovisual creation emerging from the use of Artificial Intelligence.
The festival seeks works that research, experiment with, or integrate AI tools at any stage of the creative process, including image generation, animation, scriptwriting, editing, sound design, or narrative development.
IA en Corto was created as a space for filmmakers, digital artists, audiovisual creators, and experimental artists from around the world who understand artificial intelligence not only as a technical tool, but as a new creative language.
The festival celebrates innovation, diversity of perspectives, and the dialogue between cinema, technology, and the future.
It is not required for the entire short film to be generated using AI; however, its use must be relevant and creative, not merely technical or incidental.
Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, AI Short Film, Sci-Fi, Digital Art, Animation, New Media.
NOIA is a university film festival that originated at a Brazilian public university. It was created by students who wanted to make their own films, share their stories, and create spaces for exhibition, dialogue, and artistic exchange. Since 2002, the festival has evolved alongside changes in culture, education, and the audiovisual industry, building a legacy defined by training, diversity, innovation, and the empowerment of new generations of filmmakers.
In its 24th edition, the NOIA Festival reaffirms its commitment to democratizing access to culture, fostering exchange among universities, artists, and institutions, and promoting independent cinema created by students and emerging filmmakers from Brazil and around the world.
In 2026, the festival celebrates the theme “Women-Made Cinema,” highlighting the strength of women's narratives, the diversity of perspectives, and the vital contributions women have made and continue to make to the history and future of audiovisual storytelling. The program encourages reflection on representation, inclusion, gender equity, and the challenges women face in the fields of film creation, production, and exhibition.
Held in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil, NOIA brings together competitive screenings, panel discussions, workshops, forums, educational activities, and accessibility initiatives, strengthening the connection between art, education, and social transformation.
The 24th NOIA Festival is organized by PROPONO Cultural Consulting, with the support of partner institutions and sponsors who believe in the power of culture as a catalyst for human and social development.

FRAME Film Festival es un festival de cortometrajes itinerante, sin una única ubicación, que se celebrará en la provincia de Tarragona.
El FRAME Film Festival consta de dos fases.
• FASE CLASIFICATORIA
• FASE FINAL
El objetivo principal es difundir y promover la cinematografía en general y el cortometraje en particular, apoyando a las directoras y los directores de cortometrajes y creando un espacio donde puedan dar a conocer sus trabajos.
Pero sobre todo trabajamos para que las y los cineastas se sientan acogidos y vivan la experiencia de visitarnos cómo si estuvieran en familia. LA GRAN FAMILIA DEL CORTOMETRAJE!
Otro motivo es ampliar la oferta de eventos culturales para hacer llegar el cortometraje a a poblaciones que no tengan la oportunidad de disfrutar de nuestro cine en formato CORTO.
En el FRAME Film Festival queremos darle al público que sigue y disfruta los cortometrajes, la oportunidad de decidir sobre la selección de las películas que pasarán a la FASE FINAL para recibir los premios TALENTO FRAME.
SOUS-SOL INTERDIT is an underground horror short film festival based in Paris, dedicated to bold, unsettling, and uncompromising cinema.
SOUS-SOL-INTERDIT will take place the October 31 2026. Screenings take place at the Théâtre STEPHANE GILDAS located at 16 rue Tolbiac, 75013 Paris.
Born in a literal basement, the festival embraces dark atmospheres, raw storytelling, and films that dare to cross boundaries, aesthetically, narratively, or emotionally. We are looking for horror in all its forms: psychological, visceral, experimental, strange, or poetic.
The first edition was sold out, with a packed room and a highly engaged audience. Our goal is not to become a massive industry event, but to remain a human-scale festival, where films are watched carefully, discussed passionately, and experienced collectively.
What we’re looking for :
Horror short films (fiction, experimental, animation, hybrid)
Strong visual identity and atmosphere
Singular voices and personal visions
Films that work on a big screen, in the dark, with an audience
Low-budget films are absolutely welcome, sincerity and creativity matter more than production value.
What selected filmmakers will experience
Selected filmmakers will be invited to take part in a unique, live cinema experience.
All selected films will be screened in a theater setting, in front of a real audience.
Films are discovered by the jury and the audience at the same time, during the screening.
After the projections, awards are decided live, including:
Jury Award
Audience Award
Filmmakers are warmly encouraged to attend the event to present their work, meet the audience, and take part in post-screening discussions.
While attendance is not mandatory, we strongly values the presence of filmmakers, as the festival is built around human encounters and shared cinematic moments.
Award winners will receive an official laurels pack and will be highlighted on the festival’s social media and website.

1. ORGANIZERS
The TARANTO FILM FESTIVAL is organized by the Cultural Association Levante International Film Festival, in collaboration with and with the support of public and private institutions as well as sponsors. The next edition will take place in the area of Taranto in December 2026; in-person activities will be supported by online services, according to the arrangements to be announced by the Management through public communication.
2. OBJECTIVES
The TARANTO FILM FESTIVAL serves as a meeting point and forum for international cinema, aimed at promoting and fostering the distribution of works by authors from all over the world. Special attention is dedicated to films addressing innovative subjects and themes, or showcasing formal and linguistic research, with a preference for works connected to the Mediterranean area and its culturally influenced regions.
3. SECTIONS AND SELECTION
The films in competition (divided into Feature Films, Short Films, and Documentaries) will be evaluated and selected by a dedicated Selection Committee. Works will be chosen both directly by the Festival Management and from candidates submitting through dedicated entry portals and the official TFF website.
To be eligible, films must have been produced between 2024 and 2026. A maximum of 30 selected titles will enter the 'Contemporary' Section.
An International Jury, composed of prominent figures from the film and cultural sectors, will award the following prizes:
* Best Film Award (for each of the 3 categories)
* Best Director

* Best Cinematography
* Best Performance
In addition, a Public Choice Award will be decided by audience votes cast both in person and online.
The main purpose of La mida no importa-Size Doesn’t Matter is to promote short film production and culture.
Sometimes we are warned that if “size doesn't matter” we would have to select and show audiovisual works with no length limit, and perhaps they are not wrong. However, we like to think that things do not have to be too big to be important, beautiful, necessary or decisive, and this is the philosophy that we have been applying since almost the first edition of this Festival.
We vindicate the works of short duration because we believe that it is possible to discover the ingenuity concentrated in a short space of time. This objective is the reason that moves us and drives us to continue searching and rummaging through the proposals that reach us to make a selection of quite different themes, typology and genre to show the range of expressive possibilities of the short story.
