Screening in the heart of London UKFF welcomes films of all types from all over the World - connecting up-and-coming filmmakers with more established names such as Judi Dench, Dustin Hoffman, James Corden, Bill Nighy, Timothy Spall, Steven Berkoff and most recently Willem Dafoe.

Mat Kirkby, Oscar Winner and Director at Ridley Scott Associates states that "The UK Film Festival is the most focused, passionate and quality driven film festival in the UK. Their invaluable support helped get me to the Oscars in 2015, where I won the Academy Award for best short film."
With a programme that showcases new talent alongside established directors, filmmakers and actors UKFF is a lively networking hub. Over the last 7 years UKFF has quickly become a career stepping stone, establishing a tradition of discovering and promoting films which have gone on to be Oscar and BAFTA nominees and winners. The script competitions have also made a big impact - five scripts have been optioned and three have been produced and gone on to win multiple awards and gained prestigious worldwide distribution deals.
Led by a jury of well respected professional filmmakers and as a member of Universal Films and Festivals Organisation we ensure a fair selection and judging process.
Our exciting screening events have created a networking hub that continues to connect new filmmakers to industry including television exposure by leading British broadcaster, Channel 4.

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.
