Curtas Vila do Conde – International Film Festival

Logo of Curtas Vila do Conde – International Film Festival

Curtas Vila do Conde – International Film Festival is one of the most prestigious film festivals in Portugal, reaching its 35th edition in 2027.

The festival will be held from 9th to 18th July 2027 and its main objective is the promotion of audiovisual and film production, selected according to quality criteria, at an event which focuses not only on the discovery of new films and directors, but also on the legacy of cinema.

Fiction, animation, documentary, and experimental films no longer than 60 minutes (unless otherwise noted), produced in 2026 or 2027 are eligible for the various competitions.

Out-of-competition programmes will highlight not only a selection of worldwide contemporary short films but also the relations between shorts and features, music and film, art and cinema.

Feature film festival

Colombian Urban Art Film Festival (CUAFF) is an independent film festival based in Bogotá, Colombia. We spotlight bold, raw, and vibrant cinematic works that capture the spirit of the streets — exploring urban art, hip hop, identity, resistance, and the pulse of unsanctioned expression.

We are especially drawn to stories that emerge from the underground — train yards, rooftops, and city walls — where creativity exists outside the lines. Our mission is to amplify the voices of filmmakers who see the street as a living canvas and cinema as a tool for disruption and truth. We welcome short films, documentaries, experimental pieces, and hybrid formats that break boundaries and provoke thought.

WELCOME TO THE TADEUS FILM & MUSIC INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL

A VISION THAT CONTINUES TO GROW

The Tadeus Film & Music International Festival is an international festival dedicated to cinema, music, and audiovisual creation, built around a contemporary, independent, and deeply authorial vision.

Our first edition was a success and exceeded our expectations. We received works from Spain, Russia, Colombia, Chile, Argentina, and the United States, building an international community of artists and creators from the very beginning.

The response we received during our first year confirmed something essential: there is a space for works that dare to cross the boundaries between cinema, music, and new forms of audiovisual expression.

That response inspires us to keep growing.

Welcome to the Radical Frame Film - 2026 Short Film Series - Berlin
We at the Radical Frame Film Festival are proud to announce edition number twelve of Short Film Series.

The idea for the Radical Frame Film Festival started years ago when a group of Denver activists, artists, and friends decided to bring the messages of video activist cinema into the public eye.

We feel that due to the current social and political climate, both locally and globally, our mission -- to provide a forum for thought provoking films and debates -- is more critical than ever.

We are committed to presenting progressive, leftist, radical, anti-racist, experimental, and visionary films that address issues including, but not limited to, the environment, human rights, social injustice, [...]
