Search Light International Film Festival-25

The fest venue is Mumbai, India


Search Light International Film Festival-26 is a cinema movement built on discovery. Like a searchlight cutting through darkness, the festival exists to find, reveal, and elevate films that dare to see differently—stories that question, challenge, and illuminate the unseen corners of human experience.

The idea of Search Light goes beyond screening films—it represents discovery. Discovery of new filmmakers. Discovery of unheard perspectives. Discovery of cinema that dares to look deeper rather than louder. From independent shorts and feature films to documentaries, animation, and experimental works, SLIFF-26 embraces storytelling that expands the language of cinema.

At its heart, Search Light stands for visibility. It shines on independent creators, bold narratives, cultural diversity, and cinematic risk-taking, creating a space where discovery matters more than scale, and intention matters more than noise.

In an era where algorithms decide visibility, Search Light International Film Festival-26 chooses intention. It curates films with care, respects the filmmaker’s vision, and creates a space where cinema is experienced, discussed, and remembered.

The Garden-in-Movies Film Festival, founded in 2017 as part of the Radicepura Garden Festival, a biennial event dedicated to Mediterranean landscape design, has reached its fourth edition and will take place on August 1-3, 2025, at the Radicepura Botanical Park in Giarre (Catania, Italy).

At the heart of the festival is the intersection between gardens and cinematic storytelling, explored from a broad perspective that embraces fundamental cultural, political, social, and artistic values. The themes go beyond nature and landscape to include ecology, sustainability, education, culture, human rights, social engagement, and environmental awareness.

The Garden-in-Movies/ShortFilmFest International Short Film Competition is open to all works that, through cinematic language, highlight nature, the environment, landscape, ecology, and sustainability as key drivers of growth and cultural exchange. However, the "garden" is also seen as a metaphor for any place, context, dynamic, or relationship that fosters and nurtures essential cultural, political, social, and artistic values. Therefore, films that interpret the concept of "garden" from this perspective are also eligible for selection.

Bogotá D.C., Colombia


Equinoxio University Film and Audiovisual Festival celebrates its 28th edition from September 18th to 26th, 2026, providing a space for encounter and reflection on student cinema and facilitating contact with the aesthetic vision of emerging talents, as well as with the artistic, social, and personal concerns of young filmmakers.

This year, the conceptual theme adopted, “I don’t accept the world as it is,” addresses uncertainty as an experience that particularly resonates with our generation: a youthful perspective that doubts both its present and its future, rejecting the world not from a certainty of knowing how it should be, but from the difficulty of inhabiting it as it is. Thus, uncertainty emerges as a collective symptom of our time, and in this sense, we have chosen to embrace it and find in it raw material for creation.
