VAEFF 2026 Submissions Are Now Closed!

A huge thank you to all the filmmakers and artists who shared their work with us this year. Notifications will be sent on September 18, with the official 2026 lineup to follow in the coming weeks.

This November, VAEFF returns to New York City with a new selection of bold, original, and boundary-pushing work at the iconic Cinema Village, November 13–15, 2026.

Stay tuned — the 2026 lineup is coming soon.
