About:
Grief Fest™: The Grief Film Festival — Films About Love, Loss and Healing Thru the Lens
Grief is one of the most universal human experiences—and one of the most powerful stories a filmmaker can tell.
The Grief Film Festival (“Grief Fest™”) is a new international film festival dedicated to films that explore grief in all its forms: love, loss, remembrance, transformation, resilience, and healing. We invite filmmakers of all experience levels, from first-time creators to established studios, to submit films of any duration and any genre that engage with the subject of grief in authentic, meaningful, and human ways.
This is not Cannes—and we are proud of that.
While many outstanding festivals focus on innovation, technical perfection, and industry prestige, Grief Fest is a community-powered festival. Our films are not judged by red carpets or elite panels alone, but by the soul of the community. We celebrate how effectively a filmmaker connects with real people—how the story lands, resonates, opens dialogue, and creates shared understanding around grief.
What Makes Grief Fest - The Grief Film Festival Different
Honoring:
Grief Fest honors the many talented filmmakers worldwide whose work has been inspired and/or impacted by grief; including the many who are no longer with us today. One of the inspirations for the creation of Grief Fest: The Grief Fest Film Festival came from one very talented filmmaker out of Boston, Massachusetts whose work and life were deeply impacted by grief - Enrique Oliver (1958-2026).
Community-Centered Storytelling:
Our focus is on impact, emotional truth, and connection—not just production value.
Street-Level Audience Insight:
Filmmakers, distributors, and investors gain real-world audience perception and reactions to films addressing one of humanity’s most shared experiences.
Inclusive & Accessible:
All filmmakers are welcome—students, independents, collectives, nonprofits, and studios of all sizes. Grief Fest welcomes all films, and the festival is an all-inclusive, non-religious, LGBTQ+ friendly, and all-welcoming film festival.
Any Duration, Any Format: Shorts, features, micro-films, documentaries, narratives, experimental works, poetry readings and hybrid forms are all encouraged.
Global Perspective:
Grief transcends culture, language, and borders—and so do the stories we seek.
Why Submit
Grief Fest offers something rare: authentic audience engagement.
Selected films will be screened:
Screenings of the selected films:
The in-person and virtual screenings of the selected "Grief Fest™" films will take place during the 2026 year-end holidays. The community screenings will take place during the Thanksgiving (November 25 - 29), and Christmas/New Year's (December 24 - January 3) holidays. The hybrid festival format expands reach beyond the in-person screening thru the Grief Fest Screening Room in the Film Festival Plus Platform (https://tgff.filmfestivalplus.com). This hybrid experience provides filmmakers with valuable insight into how their work resonates across different communities and platforms—information that is meaningful for future distribution, development, and investment conversations.
The 2026 Grief Fest Films
Every film selected for the 2026 Grief Fest is, in our eyes, already a film of distinction. Each represents courageous storytelling and a meaningful contribution to how we understand, express, and navigate grief together.
At the close of the festival year, we will share the "2026 Grief Fest - Top Honors Films" per category. The 2026 Grief Fest Honors recognize the films that resonated most deeply with both our community audience and festival jury. These films will be announced on the main festival website (GriefFest.com) on New Year’s Eve (12/31/2026) and will also be highlighted in the Grief Fest Screening Room on the Film Festival Plus platform.
We celebrate every filmmaker whose work is part of Grief Fest. The films receiving Top Honors this year exemplify storytelling that connected with particular depth and clarity, reflecting creative approaches that moved audiences and jurors alike. While each selected film has made a meaningful impact, these “Top Honors” recognize those works whose resonance rose to an exceptional level — offering insights that may help shape and inspire the future of grief-centered storytelling.
Our Mission
Grief Fest exists to create space—for stories, for conversations, and for collective healing. We believe film can:
Normalize conversations around grief
Build empathy and understanding
Strengthen community through shared experience
Transform personal loss into collective meaning
If your film explores grief not just as an ending, but as a journey—through love, loss, memory, and healing—we want to experience it with our community.
Submit your film.
Share your story.
Join the conversation.
