Main Competition
Where stories blaze and visions rise.
The core short film competition of NOYIFF, open to emerging filmmakers worldwide.
We welcome short films of all forms and genres, including narrative, documentary, experimental, student works, and boundary-pushing cinematic expressions of all kinds.
We also embrace diverse approaches to filmmaking.
Whether live-action, AI-generated, hybrid filmmaking, or forms of storytelling yet to be named, NOYIFF believes that what truly matters is not the tools used to create a film, but the honesty and power behind the expression itself.
We seek works with cinematic language, emotional urgency, and fearless artistic vision.
If your film can authentically project what lives inside you onto the screen, this is where your voice belongs.
