NoHo CineFest Returns to Glendale

The 13th Annual NoHo CineFest is set to take place from August 27-30, 2026 in Glendale, California. This prestigious film festival will transform LOOK Dine-In Cinemas Glendale into a bustling hub of independent filmmaking, showcasing more than 100 feature and short films from diverse filmmakers around the globe. This event promises not only great films but also filmmaker Q&As, exciting networking opportunities, and appearances from renowned industry professionals.

Among the highlights of this year's festival is the world premiere of The Fox Sisters, a gripping historical drama depicting the lives of Margaret, Kate, and Leah Fox. The film narrates the extraordinary true story of the sisters whose supposed communications with the dead in the mid-1800s ignited the American Spiritualist movement. Directed by Wagner de Assis, this film promises a significant cultural exploration of faith, the supernatural, and humanity’s relationship with the afterlife.

The festival not only celebrates cinematic artistry but also advances connections among filmmakers, audiences, and industry experts. Festival Director Gustavo Sampaio emphasizes this mission: “Every year, we strive to create an event where filmmakers can celebrate their work, while also connecting with great indie artists and growing our CineFest community.” With such a captivating lineup, including the much-anticipated premiere of The Fox Sisters, it's clear NoHo CineFest 2026 aims to exceed expectations.

In addition to its cultural offerings, this year's festival will partner with innovative companies shaping the future of filmmaking. A leading sponsor is Film Functions, a modern production operating system designed specifically for filmmakers and production teams. Another noteworthy addition is Social Agent, a cutting-edge content creation platform linking businesses with talented content creators.

Since its inception, NoHo CineFest has gained international acclaim as a beacon for discovering exceptional independent cinema while fostering a vibrant community. The festival serves as a platform where emerging and established talent alike can share their work and build lasting professional relationships, ultimately enriching the landscape of independent film.
