This is where, 80 years ago, the first atomic bomb was detonated on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Indigenous</span></a> land. As a result, these lands are among those most affected by uranium mining and the nuclear industry in general. <br> <br>"Until now, few Indigenous filmmakers have tackled this difficult and often hidden subject. For this reason, the organizers are dedicating an award to promote the production of Indigenous and Native American films about nuclear power, nuclear weapons, nuclear waste, uranium mining, and their consequences. <br> <br>"The best film by an indigenous or Native American filmmaker will receive a special festival trophy in Window Rock.<br> <br>"Now in its 14th year, the International Uranium Film Festival (IUFF) is dedicated to presenting films on all nuclear issues and the entire nuclear fuel chain: from uranium mining to nuclear waste, from nuclear war to nuclear accidents. This unique-in-the-world film festival - named 'One of the 25 Coolest Film Festivals 2024' by MovieMaker Magazine - was founded in 2010 in Rio de Janeiro and took place for the first time in May, 2011. It has presented more than 300 films in 9 countries and more than 40 cities around the world. <br> <br>"The founders and directors of the International Uranium Film Festival, Márcia Gomes de Oliveira and Norbert G. Suchanek, were recently awarded the internationally respected 2025 Nuclear Free Future Award for their work.<br> <br>Film submissions are free for indigenous filmmakers and the deadline is September 20, 2025.<br>Contact for Film Entry: info @ uraniumfilmfestival . org (no spaces)<br> <br>We welcome any support, partners and sponsors.
