NOIA is a university film festival that originated at a Brazilian public university. It was created by students who wanted to make their own films, share their stories, and create spaces for exhibition, dialogue, and artistic exchange. Since 2002, the festival has evolved alongside changes in culture, education, and the audiovisual industry, building a legacy defined by training, diversity, innovation, and the empowerment of new generations of filmmakers.

In its 24th edition, the NOIA Festival reaffirms its commitment to democratizing access to culture, fostering exchange among universities, artists, and institutions, and promoting independent cinema created by students and emerging filmmakers from Brazil and around the world.

The principal objective of the Kolkata Kaleidoscope International Film Festival (KKIFF) is to promote and encourage awareness, appreciation and understanding of the art of cinema, and to inspire cultural exchange through film.

The first edition of KKIFF aims to bring together filmmakers, film enthusiasts, artists, cultural practitioners, industry professionals, and audiences through a shared love for cinema.

More than a festival built around screenings and awards, KKIFF seeks to create a space for conversation, collaboration, discovery and community—connecting established voices with emerging filmmakers and creating opportunities for people who are beginning to find their place in the film ecosystem.

Our philosophy is simple:

LESS COMPETITION. MORE COMMUNITY.

AUDIOVISUAL OPEN CALL
CINE CALLEJERO 2026

Cine Callejero promotes a form of audiovisual circulation based on a simple idea: cinema can also meet its audience outside movie theaters.

In a country where access to culture remains unequal, we want films to circulate through neighborhoods, parks, streets, train stations, and other spaces where everyday life takes place. We are interested in reclaiming public space as a place to watch, discuss, and share cinema.

This purpose involves several challenges. One of them is obtaining authorization from filmmakers and production companies to screen their works in public spaces, with free admission and without commercial purposes. Another is expanding opportunities for films to circulate beyond festivals, movie theaters, and specialized [...]

The ninth edition of FICUC opens its call for submissions to all types of national and Latin American short films created during academic periods at the undergraduate, graduate, master’s level, etc. Likewise, short films produced outside academic periods will be accepted, provided they are certified by the participants’ university (such [...]
