Overview
The International Uranium Film Festival (IUFF) is one of the “25 Coolest Film Festivals in the World 2024”. Thanks to the prestigious MovieMaker Magazine. One year before the Fukushima reactor exploded, the International Uranium Film Festival (IUFF) was founded in 2010 in Santa Teresa, the famous artist quarter in the heart of Rio de Janeiro. The first Uranium Film Festival then was held in May 2011. Main venue is the Cinematheque of Rio de Janeiro's Modern Art Museum (MAM Rio). The festival is dedicated to all films about nuclear power and the risks of radioactivity, from uranium mining to nuclear waste, from atomic bombs to nuclear power plants, from Hiroshima to Fukushima. It throws light on all nuclear issues. After Rio the festival travels with selected films to Berlin, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Window Rock and other locations - depending on the global festival partners. With a selection of the best films the festival travels also to other cities and countries. Until today more than 80 Uranium Film Festivals took place in more than 40 cities and seven countries like Brazil, Canada, Germany, India, Jordan, Portugal and USA. Since its first edition in Hollywood in 2016, the International Uranium Film Festival (IUFF) is also known as The Atomic Age Cinema Fest.

The film festival directors have shown outstanding commitment, dedication, and support to filmmakers and their films. Being part of the International Uranium Film Festival has been both gratifying and inspiring. It is a unique experience not to be missed, whether you're a filmmaker or a film lover. I give enormous thanks and gratitude to Norbert, Márcia and their entire staff and crew, and wish them continued success.

What a joy it was to participate in this festival. The organizers took care to promote the screening and organize a Q&A session afterwards. I feel very proud to have had my world premiere in Rio de Janeiro!

The International Uranium Film Festival is a powerful and purposeful platform that brings urgent global issues into focus through diverse, thought-provoking storytelling. By embracing multiple genres—whether dramatic or comedic—it demonstrates that meaningful messages can resonate in many forms. The festival is a strong reminder that media is not just entertainment, but a vital tool to challenge, inform, and inspire audiences worldwide. I am deeply honored to have received an Honorable Mention, and even more inspired by the festival’s commitment to awareness.
