Second edition of the International Uranium Film Festival in Las Vegas (Nevada)
Eighty years after world's 1st nuclear blast in New Mexico and 80 years after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the International Uranium Film Festival (IUFF) is once again presenting a spectacular showcase of independent nuclear films in Las Vegas, Nevada. Following the Window Rock IUFF (November 13 &14), the International Uranium Film Festival will take place from November 21 to 23 at the Downtown Cinema in Las Vegas, in cooperation with Principal Man Ian Zabarte, Western Bands of the Shoshone Nation and in conjunction with the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability’s Fall Meeting in Vegas.
"We're showing a good dozen new and award-winning films, including Greg Mitchell's `The Atomic Bowl: Football at Ground Zero´“, says festival director Márcia Gomes de Oliveira, who accepted the prestigious Nuclear-Free Future Award earlier this year in New York City.
Last year the IUFF that was founded in 2010 in Rio de Janeiro was named “One of the 25 Coolest Film Festivals in the World 2024” by the MovieMaker Magazine in Hollywood and it made its Las Vegas debut at the The Beverly Theater. This year, the festival chose Downtown Cinemas in Las Vegas as its main venue. "Although we have already selected most of the films for Vegas and Window Rock, the official selection of films is still a work in progress," says Márcia Gomes de Oliveira.

"The international uranium film festival is an opportunity for the voices of those impacted by all stages
of the nuclear fuel chain to share their stories and inspire others in their communities and beyond to take action",
