Uranium Film Festival

Link Copied!

The International Uranium Film Festival is dedicated to all films (movies, documentaries, animated films, image films, art, fiction and non-fiction) about any nuclear issue: uranium mining, nuclear power plants, nuclear accidents, atomic bombs, nuclear waste, radioactive risks: From Hiroshima to Fukushima. It is an annual and global film festival with travelling festivals in other countries and cities.

In October 2024, Hollywood's MovieMaker Magazine named it  one of the "25 Coolest Film Festivals in the World 2024". And in 2025, the festival's founders, Márcia Gomes de Oliveira and Norbert Suchanek, received the prestigious "Nuclear-Free Future Award" in New York City in the category education. "You’ve never seen two people get more done than the life and project-partner duo Márcia Gomes de Oliveira and Norbert Suchanek, who run the International Uranium Film Festival in deep collaboration with activists around the world. The Uranium Film Festival is a refreshing example of what activism and advocacy can be: inclusive, expansive, and celebratory.“
