The creation of Lumen – Rio de Janeiro’s Independent Film Festival – emerged from distinct paths: the first being a long journey of work in festivals by its founders.

For the second year we are pleased to announce our OPEN CALL to all artists working with video art, experimental film and filmed performance. Artists are invited to submit their works related to the subject of the seen and unseen, what is revealed and what is concealed.
The exhibition aims to explore not only what is captured through the lens but is interested in what is missing, lost or out of shot. What the moving image chooses to show and what it refuses to reveal.
GRAIN URBAIN is back after a successful first edition. This international experimental film festival, dedicated to urban spaces and aesthetics, is now launching its open call for the 2026 edition in Paris.
We are looking for formally inventive short-films that explore the complexity, diversity, and poetics of urban life.
We are seeking submissions of "kinesthetic" or, interactive media that invites audiences to kinesthetically engage and/or participate beyond a single-channel theater-viewing experience. This open call welcomes film, video, and/or performance works that prompt or engage the viewer kinesthetically—through spoken word, sound, song, gesture, or full-body movement.
