DONOSSKINO Short Film Festival Vol.X
Festival will be held in Donostia / San Sebastian in October 2026.
Short Film Festival - Theme: Nature & Imagination
This is a mini-film festival organized around a call for short films on the theme of nature and dreams: strange, creative, offbeat narrative, poetic, supernatural, experimental, visual... depending on the vision of the filmmakers submitting their works.
The Cinalfama Lisbon International Film Festival is an annual outdoor event located in the heart of Lisbon's historic neighborhood, Alfama. For a week, we occupy the street with independent films from around the world.
OPEN CALL
We welcome submissions from independent directors, screenwriters, and composers who want to see their work screened at the white walls of Alfama.
ABOUT CINALFAMA
Cinalfama Lisboa International Film Festival celebrates the rich cultural and historical tapestry of one of the city's most iconic areas, providing a unique platform for independent filmmakers worldwide.
We aim to promote cultural and artistic diversity through cinema, highlighting works that address relevant, innovative, and provocative themes. With a carefully curated selection of films, our goal is to offer the audience an engaging and diverse cinematic experience.
To believe in an independent film festival in the streets of one of Lisbon's historic neighborhoods inevitably absorbed by gentrification is to persist and pursue a community utopia where cinema plays a restorative role.
In this context, Cinalfama has been developing a pilot program to collect stories and orality from residents and spaces in the neighborhood, in an attempt to rescue the essence of this population.
Several of the directors who make up the Cinalfama team, such as Pedro Costa, Leonor Teles, and Pedro Cabeleira, are taking part in this pressing project, whose collections are being screened at the Cinalfama Lisboa International Film Festival.
Cinalfama holds a second Open Call for the Film Observatory - regular competitive sessions three times a year (January, April, and October) - with different categories.
The 27th Kinoarte Film Festival, to be held from October 30th to November 8th, is receiving applications for its competitive sessions of short films. Films up to 25 minutes long, produced from January 2025 may participate in the Ibero-American, National, Paranaense and Londrinense competitions.

Welcome to Indie House! We are an IMDb-qualifying international film festival focused on independent filmmakers, providing a unique platform for your work to shine. Our festival structure is designed to prioritize filmmaker recognition, with a higher percentage of nominations compared to other festivals.
What sets us apart is our inclusive approach. We believe everyone deserves the same opportunities, regardless of when they submit their project. We do not make selections until all entries have been received, ensuring that every submission has a fair chance. Additionally, we offer an “All Categories” option, which provides a cost-effective way for filmmakers to submit their projects, and as a thank you, we offer promotional posts on our social media channels.
At Indie House, we have no production year limit. We believe in second—and even third—chances, allowing filmmakers to submit older projects alongside their most recent work. We also support filmmakers who have their projects on YouTube or other online platforms, and this does not disqualify their film from the festival.
We understand the importance of communication, and our festival team is always ready to answer any questions or concerns. You can contact us via our festival email, and we will be happy to provide prompt responses.
Join us at Indie House, where your independent film will have the opportunity to shine on an international stage, and your creativity and passion for storytelling will be celebrated. Submit your project today and become part of our inclusive and vibrant festival community!

BIO FILM FESTIVAL (2026)
Agricultural and environmental biodiversity is an invaluable heritage, entrusted to us and essential for the future of our planet. It is deeply connected to the health of ecosystems, but also to our cultures, economies, and ways of living. Now in its fourth edition, the Bio Film Festival 2026 continues its commitment to raising awareness about biodiversity and fostering a shared responsibility for its protection.
Building on the path traced in previous years, the festival further explores ecological regeneration as both a necessity and a possibility. Through a curated selection of films that address the fragile balance of natural systems, the consequences of climate change, and regenerative practices in agriculture and land stewardship, the Bio Film Festival invites audiences to reflect, connect, and imagine alternative futures. Cinema becomes a tool for observation, dialogue, and transformation.
Set in the evocative province of Belluno, surrounded by the Dolomites—recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site—the festival takes place in the village of Sospirolo. Here, an open-air cinema immersed in nature offers a powerful and immersive viewing experience, where landscape and storytelling resonate with one another.
The Bio Film Festival 2026 presents documentaries, short fiction films, and animated works from around the world, each offering a unique perspective on biodiversity and environmental sustainability. Together, these films form a collective narrative that speaks to urgency, resilience, and hope. Awards will be presented during the closing ceremony for Best Documentary, Best Short Film, and Best Animated Short, honoring filmmakers whose work engages with environmental and social challenges.
The festival’s logo—depicting a child bringing life back to a grey, depleted world—remains a strong symbol of regeneration, care, and future possibility. The Bio Film Festival 2026 reaffirms itself as a space for encounter, education, and creative action, dedicated to nurturing a deeper relationship between humans and the living world.
The North Idaho Film Festival (NoID) is more than just a celebration of cinema; it’s a movement dedicated to breaking the norms of traditional film festivals and creating a space where bold, untold stories can thrive. Our mission is to champion the power of storytelling, recognizing its profound influence on culture and society. We believe that film, as the most powerful medium, has the ability to shape minds, challenge perspectives, and inspire change.
At NoID, we are committed to providing a platform for storytellers whose voices might otherwise go unheard. Our festival is a haven for those who push boundaries, explore unconventional narratives, and challenge the status quo. We seek to highlight stories that aren’t being told elsewhere and to host the visionaries who tell them.
Our festival is deeply rooted in the culture and traditions of North Idaho. We celebrate the region’s unique heritage with special categories that resonate with our local audiences—showcasing the beauty of our wilderness, the importance of conservation, and a strong appreciation of our national identity, innovation in film, and the values of faith. NoID is a place where families can enjoy films together, where thinkers can engage with challenging ideas, and where creatives—both serious and playful—can showcase their innovative storytelling styles.
As we grow and evolve, the North Idaho Film Festival is destined to become a launchpad for the stories and storytellers our culture desperately needs. We are committed to ushering in a fresh wave of creativity, providing the wind before the storm, and ensuring that the power of storytelling remains at the heart of our community. Join us on this journey as we bring new, daring narratives to life and celebrate the art of film like never before.

CHHATRAPATI SHIVAJI International Film Festival's main objective is to provide the opportunity for filmmakers from all over the world to excel, and to have the best work selected and showcased in a celebration of cinema, as well as to give filmmakers a platform to network amongst fellow professionals and cinematic artists. CSIFF is looking forward to fostering these relationships and to helping extraordinary filmmakers get their projects seen by global audiences. CSIFF unites cinematic, cultural, educational more over Inspirational objectives by presenting its film discoveries.
About CHHATRAPATI SHIVAJI:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shivaji
The CSIFF is dedicated to showcasing new and innovative films while fostering the next generation of filmmakers. It is a strong advocate for social change, and encourages cultural diversity and understanding between nations. It strives to foster the movie art of all continents by stimulating the development of quality cinema and promoting meetings between cinema professionals from around the world.
The CHHATRAPATI SHIVAJI International Film Festival is dedicated to showcasing the spirit, passion, and skill of the best new filmmakers from around the world for audiences around the world.
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. A jury of industry professionals will then view the finalists and choose the winning selections.
Filmmakers planning on attending should notify the film festival as soon as possible, so their names may be listed in the scheduled program at the venue where their film will be shown. https://csiff.buddhafest.in/
Experimental films are more than welcome: our festival encourages innovation and transgressing of format, genres, political and aesthetic borders. We are especially receptive of video-art and dance films, as well as animation and documentaries, considering it necessary for artists to have adequate spaces for the exhibition and critique of their work, outside commercial circuits and other formal demands that may limit creative exploration of contemporary languages.
We are also interested in films exploring the subject of frontiers. Táchira is located in the border of Venezuela with Colombia, and this has traditionally been the most active geo political limit in Latin America, but in the last five years activity has been more than unusual, deserving many different views to be displayed. The story of this and other borders from around the world may be valuable contributions to our festival, which encourages reflective discussion as well as aesthetic enjoyment of all works presented.

From the bottom of the heart, we believe that the whole humanity is a one family and an every individual human being is a beautiful character or a player with a supreme god particle, who perform his or her great role on this global prosperous World Stage.
We really wish to share international thinking which is developed in the form of films with the society and the young generation of humanity. Every human being has a unique story to tell, but few from them are capable to express their own to the world. But the Filmmakers are the great storytellers and world wants to watch their stories through films or digital media. Because they channelize & nurture these stories through films and our motto is to spread these stories from all across the world to the masses and especially to the youngsters. Filmmakers from all across the globe are respectfully welcome to share and submit your beautiful films into the GIIFF.
We understand that you understand the realm of understanding and so you have created your wonderful films with your conscious understanding.
Connecting World with India through Audio-Visual.
Films are really a strong medium to share, yes to share, but what creates a filmmaker is a sense of what to share. Through vantage point we see that entertainment is just the medium to share realm of life with film lovers. If we penetrate the meaning of life sometime we feel that there is no such meaning or purpose to life, yes! Sometime, but we must have to give a great meaning or purpose to life to create it more beautiful for the whole world as a one family. for whole humanity or for our next generation.
We are really very small people; please understand what we want to say. But the task or mission which we want to empower is very big. One can understand it by the example of river. The beginning or origin of every river is so small but her consistency with selflessness leads her towards more hugeness.
