2021 marks 10 years since the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011 and the subsequent nuclear disaster at TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Coincidentally, the first International Uranium Film Festival (IUFF) also took place in 2011 and became a global cinema fest highlighting the risks of atomic power from uranium mining to nuclear accidents. Therefore the Uranium Film Festival circuit in 2021 is dedicated to the Fukushima meltdown and its ongoing aftermath.
Since its first edition in May 2011, the International Uranium Film Festival (also known as the Atomic Age Cinema Fest) has been recognized around the world as the premier nuclear energy-themed film festival. Until today more than 60 Uranium Film Festivals took place in more than 40 cities in seven countries like Brazil, Canada, , India, Jordan, Portugal and USA with the presence of over 100 filmmakers, producers, actors and actresses.
However, in these unpredictable times of Covid-19 the Uranium Film Festival relies more than ever on the generous and partnership of those who share our ion for nuclear awareness and believe in the power of cinema. Since 2011 we're transforming the way people see the nuclear world through film and we simply couldn’t do it without your .
Thanks for your attention and contribution

Founder and directors of the Uranium Film Festival
