We're excited to announce that Valkyrie International Film Festival 2026 will be held at Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center (aka Hallwalls)!

Because our beloved venue The Screening Room Cinema & Arts Cafe was forced to close with very little notice, we've changed our festival dates to Friday, August 7th - Tuesday, August 11th. Because of this change, we've also extended our final submission date and notification date.

Valkyries, submit your films to us via FilmFreeway by our Late Deadline (March 6th) or Extended Deadline (April 6th). ⏳ filmfreeway.com/ValkyrieInte... #TheFutureIsFemale #LatinaOwnedBusiness #Feminism #WomenInFilm #GirlPower
