Nukhufest 2025 - Celebrate 10 years with us!

What is Nukhufest? Nukhufest is Nukhu’s annual celebration of daring short films and the communities that champion them. Nukhu is a human-curated, pay-per-film platform where filmmakers set their own price (and keep 50%), and fans can support the stories they love, online and in person.

Why come?

• Experience the energy of our finalists together, then stay for Q&A and a relaxed reception.
• Meet filmmakers, curators, film-first audiences, and find future collaborators.
• Learn how the Nukhu Ambassador Program lets fans earn referral rewards for sharing films they genuinely love.
• Be there for history: the 10th Best Nuvee announcement.

How it works: Finalists stream on leading up to the event. Viewers vote for their favorites online. At Nukhufest, we celebrate the year’s standouts in-person, take questions from the audience, reveal the winner, then hang out, meet people, and keep the conversations going.
