It offers up-and-coming filmmakers from all over the world a platform to present their work to a wide audience and build contacts in the industry. Started in the 1970s as a GDR film festival for young filmmakers, Sehsüchte has established itself over the decades as an internationally important film festival and has become an integral part of Berlin and Brandenburg's cultural landscape.
Sehsüchte sees itself as a place of encounter and creation, as an event of cultural diversity and a celebration of cinema, today and tomorrow. The organization and implementation of the festival is entirely in the hands of students from the Film University Babelsberg KONRAD WOLF. This enables a dynamic exchange between young talents, media makers and researchers.
Motto 2026: What's left?
The motto of the Sehsüchte film festival in 2026 is What's left?. In the 55th edition of Sehsüchte, we want to direct our view into the past, present, and future. What’s left? wants to know what remains — of our ideals, our home, our hopes and fears, and of a world we want to believe in. With What’s left?, we want to challenge the pessimism implied by the question: We want to recognize the potential for change, and develop future perspectives not in spite of, but because of the challenges of the present. What’s left? means taking responsibility, allowing ourselves to say goodbye, and finding the courage for new opportunities and collective visions —to achieve constructiveness beyond resignation.
What’s left? What’s left to hope for? What’s left to do?
Artistic and cinematic explorations, workshops, and discussion formats want to invite filmmakers and audiences alike to face the complexity of this world. Between upheaval and awakening, tradition and rebellion, grief and hope: in its 55th edition, Sehsüchte wants to create spaces in which filmmakers and audiences can encounter political and personal crises in order to find out what does remain.

Launched in 1980, our festival, the first of its category in South Korea, has grown and evolved from the Korean Short Film Festival, to become the Busan Asian Short Film Festival in 2000 and eventually the Busan International Short Film Festival in 2010 (www.bisff.org).
Taking place late April at the Busan Cinema Center, BISFF delivers a dozen awards in three competitive sections (International Competition, Korean Competition and Operation Kino) while also presenting several curated, non-competitive sections including: Guest Country, Korean Shorts, Asian Shorts, Prism, 3D Cinema, etc.
BISFF is a member of the Short Film Conference (http://shortfilmconference.com/) and of the NETPAC (Network for the Promotion of Asia Pacific Cinema https://netpacasia.org). In 2018, it became South Korea’s first Oscar®-qualifying festival.
We are pleased to inform you that the 16th Delhi International Film Festival, 2027, is being organized as a five-day event in New Delhi in collaboration with the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (Ministry of Culture). The DPRK (North Korea) and Russia will be the country partners. This includes seven editions of the 15th Delhi International Film Festival, 2027, which will run from Feb 22, 2027.
The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, which functions as a component body of the government, is a key player in the Delhi International Film Festival, ensuring that whenever a film festival abroad requires Indian films to be shown, we participate with Indian programs.
The festival will feature films from over 50 countries in sections such as Indian Showcase, World Cinema, Arab Cinema, NRI Cinema, and Across-Border Cinema. The opening and closing events will be key attractions. This year is a year of focus on Arab cinema and cinema from India's Northeast.
But the most important aspect of the 16th edition is the screening of films related to women's empowerment and social issues related to children.
In previous editions, Canada, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Morocco, Tunisia, Palestine, Russia, and Israel have been country partners. Eight films screened and awarded at the Delhi International Film Festival have won National Awards, such as Agam and Dada Lakhmi, and four foreign films have been official entries for the Oscars from their respective countries.
DIFF is a unique festival of its kind, playing a vital role in promoting Indian cinema, art, and culture not only in Central Asian and Arab countries but also in European countries. DIFF has organized Indian programs in DPRK (North Korea), Sri Lanka, Egypt, Jordan, and Tunisia. Last year, in collaboration with the Indian Embassy in Morocco, DIFF also organized an Indian program in Tunisia and Morocco.
Another unique feature of DIFF is its inclusive approach. All Indian regional film industries have a significant presence at the festival, and the South Indian film industry, which is particularly large, is well represented at DIFF. DIFF also supports and guides the Jharkhand and Haryana International Film Festivals, and upcoming film festivals in South India and other countries.
In a noble effort to celebrate Indian cinema, the DIFFA Awards – the Delhi International Film Festival Academy Awards – will be held annually abroad to promote and honor outstanding contributions to Indian cinema.
This year, the DIFF Lifetime Achievement Award will be given to world-renowned singers Ms. Usha Uthup and Ramesh Sippy. R.D. A tribute to Burman is being planned and in this regard, artists like Ms. Tagore, Ketan Mehta, Runa Laila, Rituparna Sen Gupta, Raghuveer Yadav, Rajpal Yadav, Ravi Kishan, Tigmanshu Dhulia, Mukesh Tiwari, Yashpal Sharma, Mita Vashisht, Chittaranjan Tripathi, Shruti Ulfat, Piyush Mishra and Renuka Shahane are planned to be invited.
Welcome to our Summer Season that runs Monthly from July thru September 2026.
NewFilmmakers NY is New York's longest running year round Film Festival. Throughout it's twenty-eight year run NewFilmmakers has provided a platform for first time and veteran filmmakers.
We have taken an exciting new direction with NewFilmmakers called NewFilmmakersPlus which will move our festival into the digital age and allow us to reach international audiences.
While theaters have been closed, our online audiences have greatly exceeded those in theaters. With NewFilmmakers Plus we have added the missing audience participation to our online screenings.
Now filmmakers, cast, and crew as well as audience members can create interactive video screening rooms while watching a film. Just by pushing the START A GROUPVIEW button to the right of the film they can invite up to six people to talk about the film in a video conference. It’s almost like watching side-by-side in real life — without having to share your popcorn.
In addition our films will now be available for one month and screenable any time of the day instead of only one night. This allows more people to see our films and makes it easier to set up a screening event with friends and colleagues. As requested we are switching to filmmaker hosted files utilizing unlisted YouTube links which will eliminate the need to transcode and to send us large files as well as giving filmmakers control over their film.
In today’s world online screenings give filmmakers worldwide audiences instead of limited local ones. With NewFilmmakers Plus filmmakers not only reach worldwide audiences but can interact with them as they would at a traditional theater.
Festival designed to showcase independent politically inclined films from all corners of the world.

This international meeting, already a classic in Punta del Este, has some peculiarities that distinguish it from other Jewish Film Festivals in the world, due to the fact that it takes place in such a special seaside resort as Punta del Este, a meeting point where communities from different countries gather annually in Uruguay.
The Punta del Este Jewish Film Festival (Festival Internacional de Cine Judío de Uruguay, FICJU®) was born in 2003, with the purpose of generating a cultural, educational, didactic and illustrative space, oriented to promote the knowledge of the history of the Jewish people and its diverse cultures and traditions, thus seeking to strengthen our identity and integration through art.
Fiction films and documentaries with different perspectives of the Jewish theme are shown, spaces are organized for the analysis and reflection of the history, customs and cultures of our people around the world, and the memory of the Shoa (Holocaust) is constantly maintained.
We discover new aspects of our heritage and identity, as well as learn about the current conditions of the different Jewish communities around the world, fostering the integration of all Jewish people through the knowledge of our shared essence.
Thanks to the above, the Punta del Este Jewish Film Festival becomes a focus of tourist attraction, with an average of 2,500 attendees.

The International Summer Film Festival 2024 is underway and promises to be an unparalleled cinematic experience. This high-quality event, celebrating the best of the international short film world, has become a cornerstone of Montevideo's summer. Organized with passion and dedication by Uruguay Campus Film, the festival was born in 2022 with the aim of strengthening exhibition spaces for short films and promoting exchanges among national filmmakers.
This summer 2024, we are excited to offer an even more thrilling edition. After two successful previous editions, where we have already established ourselves as an international festival, we continue our commitment to bring the best of cinema to Montevideo and beyond.

In this third edition of the Summer Film Festival, we have gone a step further. We have expanded our horizons by introducing a category dedicated to international short films. This will allow us to explore an even broader and more diverse cinematography, providing our audience with a rich and enriching cinematic experience.
Furthermore, we will continue to offer workshops and talks, where filmmakers will share their knowledge and experiences. Our mission is to create a relaxed learning space where conversations flow freely between filmmakers and audiences, allowing everyone to immerse themselves in the magical world of cinema.
The "Cinema in the Neighborhood" section will remain a highlight of the festival, connecting cinematic art with the local community through outdoor screenings in unusual and exciting locations.
The Summer Film Festival is a celebration of cinematic culture and a platform for local and international talent. It represents the culmination of over a decade of effort and dedication by Uruguay Campus Film and has its roots in previous events such as Cinema Day, Experimental Cinema, and UCF Shows Itself.
With each new edition, our festival advances toward more exciting horizons, offering a unique experience to film enthusiasts and those seeking to explore the richness of the seventh art. So, get ready for a summer in 2024 filled with captivating stories, enriching cinematic experiences, and unforgettable moments at the International Summer Film Festival.
