Filmmakers of the arcane and the macabre…
We invite you to unveil your darkest cinematic visions at the 2026 Festival of Darkness. We seek films that dwell in shadow: works that disturb, unsettle, haunt, or reflect the darker corners of the human experience. Whether whispered in monochrome, screamed in surrealism, or etched in silence, your creation is welcome here. There are no restrictions on style or medium; only that your film carries the essence of darkness, introspection, and horror.
For submission guidelines, and to submit, click below:
