KINETIQ Short Film Festival is a new independent short-film festival in Santo Domingo, first presented for June 2026 at Casa de Teatro in the Colonial City. It is notable for positioning itself as a platform to discover, reward, and give visibility to emerging talent, with programming that combines training, screenings, and professional exchange; it also aims to connect young filmmakers with audiences and industry partners. The festival showcases fiction, documentary, and animation shorts, including Dominican student and pre-university work as well as international entries, and its winning shorts are slated to enter the Dominican Film Festival in New York, strengthening its role in the regional festival circuit.
