Courts Mais Trash is Postponed!

Breaking News,
We’ve got some big news to share! 🎉For its 21st edition, the Courts + Queer Mais Trash Festival is changing dates.
So no need to keep your first week of February free — the next edition will now take place in fall 2026. We have to admit, the current political and financial situation makes it hard to organize the festival with peace of mind earlier in the year. We know… you’ll have to wait a few more months 😅
But the good news is that the call for entries has been extended!
👉 New deadline: June 30, 2026, via FilmFreeway.
That means a little more time to finish (or even start!) your short films for the coolest festival in the world 🌈🎬
Hugs from the whole team ❤️
