The KATZE Film Festival proudly returns for its fourth edition in 2026, continuing its uncompromising journey to the edges of society, the human experience, and cinematic innovation.
The 2026 edition will once again take place at Beit Tami in Tel Aviv, in collaboration with the Tel Aviv Municipality. This partnership anchors the festival at the heart of the city’s cultural landscape.
At KATZE, we explore the unfamiliar, embrace the unconventional, and champion filmmakers who dare to push boundaries, question norms, and reinvent cinematic language.
From raw human dramas to radical experimental visions, KATZE 2026 will present a bold selection of films that captivate, unsettle, and illuminate new creative frontiers. We invite filmmakers worldwide to submit their work and join this expanding community of boundary-defying creators.
Take a moment to explore images from previous editions of the festival to get a broader sense of the atmosphere, energy, and spirit that define KATZE.
Last year’s official trailer offers a first glimpse into the 2025 edition:

At KATZE, we shine a light on new voices, urgent perspectives, and hidden cinematic gems that often go unseen.
Unleash your creativity. Explore the unknown. Embrace the edge.
The International Uranium Film Festival (IUFF) is one of the “25 Coolest Film Festivals in the World 2024”. Thanks to the prestigious MovieMaker Magazine. One year before the Fukushima reactor exploded, the International Uranium Film Festival (IUFF) was founded in 2010 in Santa Teresa, the famous artist quarter in the heart of Rio de Janeiro. The first Uranium Film Festival then was held in May 2011. Main venue is the Cinematheque of Rio de Janeiro's Modern Art Museum (MAM Rio). The festival is dedicated to all films about nuclear power and the risks of radioactivity, from uranium mining to nuclear waste, from atomic bombs to nuclear power plants, from Hiroshima to Fukushima. It throws light on all nuclear issues.
With a selection of the best films the festival travels also to other cities and countries. Until today more than 80 Uranium Film Festivals took place in more than 40 cities and seven countries like Brazil, Canada, Germany, India, Jordan, Portugal and USA. Since its first edition in Hollywood in 2016, the International Uranium Film Festival (IUFF) is also known as The Atomic Age Cinema Fest.
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.

For 16 years, we have built an outstanding international reputation for film curation, expert speakers, distinguished judges, and truly useful industry events.
We have become a trailblazing festival in Paris, serving both French short filmmakers looking to export their talent and international filmmakers in search of a genuine festival offering real industry access.
While our name is changing to reflect our evolution, our mission remains exactly the same: to discover outstanding films from around the world, create real and actionable opportunities for filmmakers, and support the making of your next movie.
The next chapter starts now.
Welcome to The Paris Film Festival.
We started the PAMA 16 years ago to mix the American-style entertainment and ambition with the high-quality expectations that French cinema is known for.
Our judges (from Monica Cruz to Mark Dacascos), attending A-list stars (Sharon Stone, Hugo Becker, Melanie Doutey, Samuel Arnold), rising filmmakers and guest speakers (James Morrison, William Baldwin) all joined in for a tradition of mixing talents, whatever your position or recognized accomplishments in our industry.
That mission lives on, and in current times of Hollywood crisis, we strive to be a part of the solution, from networking to insightful panels, from screenings to mentorship.
Our mindset is that we are a network, not a business.
The PAMA is organized by filmmakers for filmmakers.

COCINE is a film show dedicated to exploring and celebrating the richness of gastronomy and food culture through audiovisual art. This event seeks to highlight the deep connection between food and culture, offering a window into the stories behind each dish, recipe and culinary tradition.
From innovation in the kitchen to the preservation of traditional food practices, COCINE is a space where filmmakers, chefs, farmers and food lovers can converge and share their passion for gastronomy. Here, we explore how planting clean and sustainable products can strengthen the traditional cuisines of towns and communities, and how gastronomic culture evolves and adapts in a constantly changing world.
COCINE is an event of the Corporación Gastronómica de Popayán in alliance with the Popayán Short Film Festival that takes place within the framework of the Popayán Gastronomic Congress.
We recognize that cinema is one of the most influential artistic disciplines in society; the language of film transcends the boundaries of the big screen, leaving an indelible mark on the memories and imaginations of every viewer.
For this reason, the 9th edition of the Chiloé International Film Festival (FICH 2026) stands as the only active film-focused cultural event in the Los Lagos Region (Region X). It showcases Chilean and international cinema across various programming strands, featuring retrospectives of established national filmmakers alongside activities designed to foster engagement with film content and language, thereby broadening participation among the island's residents.
This ninth edition will feature seven distinct programming strands to showcase the films. These include five competitive categories:
International Feature Film, National Feature Film, International Short Film, National Short Film, and Regional Short Film; a Retrospective Focus; and a Children's Strand.
