Cinema Worthy Work

The large-scale 3rd Antares International Film Festival is accepting applications.

Submissions will be accepted until 31 July 2026.

Antares is the only festival in the world entirely dedicated to working people and their professions.

The film festival invites films where labor is not the backdrop, but the heart of the story. Participants are talented films in which the protagonist’s profession is the foundation of the drama: through it, characters, conflicts, dreams, and accomplishments are revealed. The focus is on the people whose hands and minds accomplish everyday feats: steelworkers and teachers, doctors and farmers, engineers and fishermen.

The Festival’s goal is to show how work shapes people, and how people change the world. To give a voice to those whose professions are often overlooked, but without whom our everyday lives would be impossible.

The competition program includes:

Short films

Feature films

Documentaries

Animation films

Experimental works and video art
