Now we are proud to announce that the seventh edition of the Luminous Frames Film Festival will be held at NPAK Experimental Arts Center from May 28 to 31, 2026 in Yerevan, Armenia.

Luminous Frames is looking for independent short films in all genres, especially those which have been historically underrepresented. Our priority is not only on Gender and ethnic diversity, human rights, and environmental issues, but also on good ideas and coherent cinematic structure. Discover our unique and interesting categories: Seasonal Theme, Minority Report (short film review), The Bounty (feature film review), and Memento. Luminous Frames is one of the few festivals that accepts submissions in each sub-category independently. We also have a Photography Contest with various categories for passionate and professional photographers, whose work will be judged by an explicit jury panel. Luminous Frames is a home for independent photographers who are looking for an international platform to showcase their artwork.

  First, I want to thank the festival on behalf of the entire Wink team for nominating us for 9 awards and awarding us 2, including Best Actor for Pat Shortt and Best Narrative Short, May 2024. Having exposure from the festival on all their socials is a real boost for the film. I hope to be able to attend an in-person screening one of these days, but to be included has been a real honor. Thank You
