NOYIFF 2025 | Redefining the"New Order" of Youth Cinema

med_submission_btn_2x-mint.png

In 2025, the New Order Youth International Film Festival returns—bolder, sharper, and more future-facing than ever.

While continuing to spotlight our Main Competition, we are introducing three brand-new sections with distinct creative visions:

Antigravity (Vertical Film Section), Synthetic Muse (AI-Powered Storytelling), and The Makers (Craft & Technical Excellence).

And that’s not all—our entire award system has been reimagined.

In addition to our top honors for Best Short Film and Best Director, 2025 marks the debut of individual awards for cinematography, editing, production design, sound, costume & styling—finally giving long-overdue recognition to the artists behind the scenes.

From section structure to award philosophy, NOYIFF 2025 embodies a truer, more dynamic, and more radical “New Order.”

This is not just a festival—it’s a cinematic uprising, powered by the voices of a new generation.

Are you ready to rebuild the world with your images?

Main Competition—

Cinema reignites. The world listens.

Where stories blaze and visions rise.

As NOYIFF’s central spotlight, the Main Competition champions originality, vision, and emotional resonance.

This section showcases short films from emerging global talents who dare to challenge narrative norms, craft bold cinematic languages, and deliver stories with soul. Here, filmmaking returns to its essence—personal, powerful, and unapologetically young.

Antigravity |

Vertical Film Section

Break the pull. Rebuild the frame.

The frame tilts. Gravity breaks.

In a world bound by horizontal storytelling, “Antigravity” rises vertically.

This unit celebrates the bold experimentation of vertical video formats, redefining visual grammar for a generation raised on social media.

Synthetic Muse |​

AI-Powered Storytelling Section

AI isn’t a tool. It’s a co-author.

Synthetic. Sensational. Storytellers.

Synthetic Muse explores how AI reshapes the creative process.

It invites young filmmakers to treat algorithms not just as tools, but as co-creators capable of sparking new forms of storytelling.

Production Crew

The Makers

They don't appear on screen — but they hold it steady.

You make it real. You are The Makers.

From sound and costume to lighting and production, The Makers honors the unsung architects of cinema.

They sculpt the unseen. They bring stories to life from behind the scenes.
