Gandhara Independent Film Festival 2026, 7th Edition (Online & In-Person)

STELLAR STORIES, ONE FESTIVAL

GIFF 2026 commits to curating some of the most exceptional films from around the globe. GIFF began with its first virtual edition in 2020 to allow a larger audience to experience a diverse range of films, particularly the cinephiles in Pakistan who were starved of a curated line-up of films which exemplified stellar storytelling. Over the last 6 years, GIFF has provided filmmakers a chance to reach out to a global audience and showcase their talent internationally.

The 2026 edition is imminent, and submissions are open. We are looking forward to riding the waves of emotions brought forth through your remarkable stories.

*Submissions are free.

Welcome to the AZIMUTH International Film Festival — where cinema doesn’t just tell stories; it changes the angle of perception.

In navigation, azimuth is not a destination — it’s a direction. In cinema, it’s the creative bearing chosen by a filmmaker. We are not interested in well-trodden paths. We are looking for bold new routes.

AZIMUTH is a compass for contemporary cinema, based in the heart of Moscow.

We exist to discover, support, and celebrate films defined by a unique authorial vision and artistic courage. Our mission is to create a dynamic platform where fearless debutants and established masters meet in dialogue — united not by where they have been, but by where they are heading.

We are searching for films that:

The SalvaPastores™ Film Awards were created to raise awareness, dignify, and give greater value to the profession of being shepherd and milk producers (goat, sheep, cow, buffalo...), as well as the fundamental role they play in the sustainability of the land, food production, and the preservation of cultural and environmental traditions.

This initiative stems from the SalvaPastores™ project, spearheaded by Michele Buster, co-founder of the international company Forever Cheese, whose career has been deeply intertwined with the promotion of European artisanal products, especially Spanish cheeses.

The awards aim to change the social perception of the shepherd and livestock farmer profession, traditionally associated with negative stereotypes or a dead-end job, by showcasing its [...]
