VI COLIFFE - COLiseum International Film Festival 2026

THE SIXTH EDITION OF THE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL CELEBRATING WORKS FROM AROUND THE WORLD.

IT HAS A DEEP INTERNATIONAL DIMENSION AND WAS CREATED WITH THE GOAL AND NEED TO PROMOTE INDEPENDENT CINEMA AND FIRST FILMS.

FESTIVAL ACTIVITIES

The sixth edition of the Festival defines itself as social, meaning its aim is to promote the aggregation of all the protagonists of independent cinema and debut works.

From August 24 to September 1, 2026, the COLiseum International Film Festival (COLIFFE) will be organized online through two web channels, one Italian and one international, where the finalist works will be broadcast in full HD or 4K for online public voting.

Screenings will be held 24 hours a day online in full HD and 4K on Coliffe TV and Coliffe TV International.

From September 17 to 25, the best works from the 9 competitions will be screened in 4K.
On September 26, 2026, the gala evening will take place with the presentation of the 51 awards.

All activities will take place in Sardinia island.

The Festival is organized by the Pianeta Empatia Social Promotion Association.

The association promotes and pursues exclusively the goal of promoting human, civil, cultural, and social solidarity, which are grounded in the principles of the Italian Constitution.

The association focuses its attention specifically and primarily on:

The development of the human personality in all its expressions and the removal of obstacles that impede the implementation of the principles of freedom, equality, equal social dignity, and equal opportunity, promoting the right to health, social protection, education, culture, training, and sport, as well as the enhancement of professional skills and abilities; and the promotion of welcome and hospitality for individuals, adults or minors, Italian or foreign, with disabilities, marginalization, and/or social vulnerability, including in conjunction with the proposed public or private entities.

To promote the leisure time of disabled and marginalized individuals, through educational and community initiatives of a cultural, sports-recreational, and social nature aimed at preventing hardship and/or deviance (e.g., festivals, shows, stays, weekly meetings at the headquarters, Sunday outings, peace education, ecological and environmental protection initiatives, etc.).

The association also provides, based on additional availability, the following initiatives, listed by way of example:

• study and research services, management of information, multimedia, and social spaces, including in prisons and detention centers for adults and minors;

• support and initiatives for any cultural activity (exhibitions, conferences, and events), music videos, theater, and cinema, physical expression and gymnastics, amateur and recreational sports activities, nutrition education, and the provision of food and beverages, including for a fee or contribution;

• promotion and implementation of any cultural activity (exhibitions, conferences, and events), music videos, theater, and cinema, physical expression and gymnastics, amateur and recreational sports activities, nutrition education, and the provision of food and beverages, including for a fee or contribution;

• Community-based hospitality, including non-hotel accommodations, for social tourism purposes, aimed at socially marginalized individuals and their families and/or associations.

The PIANETA EMPATIA Association, committed to developing proposals that promote cultural opportunities in the region, sees cinema as a vehicle through which a region can initiate a process of cultural growth capable of triggering development mechanisms in conjunction with the region's activities.

In this case, the region is the splendid reality of Sardinia and its beaches, places rich in natural oases, ancient ruins, and breathtaking views, as well as a generous food and wine offering.

The festival's goal is to foster international competitiveness through attractiveness, a theme that concerns regions not only for what they are but also for how they can be developed and communicated. A region is social value, value of exchange, and value of experiences, but also cultural value and economic value.

And the theme of exchange between economy, experience, and culture is what drove us to focus on these territories, which, located in this splendid geographical area, can spread the culture of cinema as a privileged meeting place for the histories of distant countries and peoples, fostering the rapprochement of different cultures.

The Coliseum International Film Festival is a fundamental resource for the film industry as it not only contributes significantly to the cultural, economic, and social development of the region in which it is held, but also constitutes an essential link in the film industry ecosystem.

The Coliseum International Film Festival has multiple missions:

• it promotes awareness and dissemination of international cinema in all its forms as art, entertainment, and industry, in a spirit of freedom, equality, and equal opportunity;

• it offers filmmakers broader recognition for their work, spreading word of mouth
among critics, film buffs, and audiences;

• it discovers new talent and helps structure emerging production areas;

• it creates business opportunities for films that have not yet secured agreements for commercial exploitation or for specific territories.

COLIFFE can be considered a GREEN FESTIVAL in many ways, from Sustainable Mobility (the locations are always located near subway and/or train stops, which are recommended to guests, along with electric vehicles and car sharing) to Sustainable Energy Consumption (in-person locations, the goal is to reduce energy consumption, reducing lighting to the bare minimum and setting the heating system to the lowest level for comfort), and from Printing Materials (digital formats are preferred for communication, information, and promotion of the event, or printed press materials).

From Waste Management (separate waste collection at numerous collection points and easily recognizable and visible bins) to Guest Management (only digital train and subway tickets are offered, and hotels are certified by Travelife or Green Globe), from Food Sustainability (local DOCG wines, water and soft drinks on tap, no food waste, local seasonal products, washable tableware, and certified tissue paper napkins) to Environmental Culture and Social Sustainability (sponsors who share and support the festival's sustainability values and suppliers with a certified Environmental Management System, selected locations free of architectural barriers and accessible to people with disabilities and special needs, promotion of gender equality and the full participation of all individuals, and valorization of the local area), all the way to Training and Communication (staff adequately trained in environmental sustainability and the conduct policies adopted by management, and communication of the festival's environmental and eco-sustainable policies).

The festival invites all participants, in every capacity and role, to pay particular attention to adopting green behaviors.

From the creators of the Depth of Field International Film Festival, Docs Without Borders Film Festival, and the WRPN.tv Women’s International Film Festival (among a few other successful festivals) and, under the umbrella of the WRPN.tv Network we bring you the Hispanic International Film Festival (HIFF)

To ensure that each screenplay or film is read, studied, and rated individually,
HIFF has instituted a system in which entries do not compete against each other but are recognized for their merits.
They compete against themselves: each entry is judged on its merits and scored according to an inherent value system.

When it is your turn to be evaluated, the judges focus on your screenplay, not on all the other screenplays in the cue. This ensures that they won't have comparisons going on in their minds when they should focus entirely on you.

Utsav – Celebration or Festival

We have started this LGBTQ+ & Independent Film Festival for cinema lovers. This film festival will be a celebration of creativity and ideas. After a successful completion of the first edition of the festival, we are now ready for the second edition.

LGBTQ+ cinema globally as well as in India has become an important part of the film industry. OTT platforms have increased the reach of these films to a larger audience. Of course, these avenues are mostly for mainstream cinema and filmmakers. There are a lot of independent film makers who also have interesting stories to present. We hope that this festival will be a platform for these independent film makers and their wonderful stories.

Each film has various components – story, script, cinematography, editing, sound, music, acting – to name a few. In this festival, we wish to acknowledge all aspects of film making and creativity. Thus, we hope that film makers will be encouraged to submit their work to showcase any or all aspects of their creativity.

Not all film makers, particularly independent filmmakers, and students, have the luxury of large budgets and wonderful locations for filming. We appreciate these limitations and would like to provide a platform to these filmmakers. We would encourage first time filmmakers who would like to present their work to submit to the festival.

It is also important to learn from each other’s experiences. During the festival, we hope to have panel discussions with filmmakers, writers, editors, sound engineers, cinematographers, musicians, and audience as well. This healthy exchange will enrich the experience.

The first two days of festival will be for LGBTQ+ cinema, and the next two days will be for other independent films in this edition of the festival.

Come be a part of this ‘UTSAV’!

MYTH: Social Impact Film Award

Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine


"We particularly value highly artistic and aesthetic films—short and feature, documentary and narrative—that explore various aspects of life. Above all, we have a deep appreciation for catharsis."

Film Award is organized by the MYTH Foundation, an international cultural community that supports Ukraine's resistance through art. The Foundation is a non-profit, apolitical non-governmental organization. Its primary goals are the promotion of Ukraine abroad, supporting the morale of the Ukrainian people, creating professional national cultural products, and developing cultural diplomacy and cooperation with Ukrainian and international institutions in the fields of culture and cinema.

The MYTH Social Impact Film Award is an international platform that amplifies the voices of artists and projects standing in solidarity with Ukraine. The award focuses on films about the war, the lives of civilians in combat zones, acute social issues, justice, resistance to Russian propaganda, as well as works documenting or highlighting human rights violations during the war.

On November 15, 2025, the MYTH Foundation launched and held the first MYTH Social Impact Film Award, bringing together participants from 33 countries of the free world to support Ukraine. The "Madonna and Child in a Shelter," the main award and symbol of the film prize, found its home in London and Rome, Berlin and Paris, Istanbul and Warsaw, New York and Delhi, Toronto and Kramatorsk—becoming a fond memory of Ukraine and a symbolic talisman for filmmakers worldwide.

The 2nd Film Award is dedicated to the strength of the human spirit and the unwavering will to live. We present works centered on themes of humanity and struggle, freedom and love. Our country is enduring a horrific war, yet it continues to love, live, hope, and fight. Now more than ever, there is a need for life-affirming, powerful stories—dramatic and comedic, quiet and loud—diverse in their essence.

The main theme is: "Love for Life – Against All Odds." This theme unites national and international films of various genres around humanistic values, maintaining a focus on the Ukrainian experience of war while offering the audience a sense of hope and support from around the world.

The Film Award is scheduled as a tour across Ukraine in June 2026, with main events in Kyiv and screenings for regional audiences in Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk.

The 2nd Film Award will feature the following Main Sections, including both narrative and documentary projects:

National Feature Film

National Short Film

International Feature Film

International Short Film

Join us to strengthen this voice of truth and become a part of the cinematic resistance.
