Kudos to my friends at the #InternationalUraniumFilmFestival for bringing awareness of #nuclear issues AND being voted one of the "Coolest Film Festivals"!

"The International Uranium Film Festival (#IUFF) is one of the '25 Coolest Film Festivals in the World 2024'. Thanks to the prestigious MovieMaker Magazine in Hollywood, Los Angeles, which selects the Coolest Film Festivals every year. Founded in #RioDeJaneiro, the unique film festival, also known as #AtomicAgeCinemaFest, is the only film festival in #Brazil to receive this honor this year.

"'The Uranium Film Festival is certainly one of the most unique festivals we've ever had on our list, but its singular focus shines an important light on problems that unite communities all around the world — and in fact our entire world. In the year that #Oppenheimer dominated at the Oscars, it feels like the messages it has carried for years are gaining much wider interest and attention,' says Tim Molloy, Editor in Chief at MovieMaker Magazine.

"'You’ve never seen two people get more done than the life and project- partner duo #MárciaGomesDeOliveira and #NorbertGSuchanek, who run the International Uranium Film Festival in deep collaboration with #activists around the world. The festival has its grand event in Rio, but also does an extensive U.S. tour in regions impacted by #uranium-related industry. Inevitably, folks wonder whether there are enough films on the subject to warrant a festival. The answer is yes. This, of course, is because the issue is expansive, impacting all 50 U.S. states and many more corners of the world than most folks realize. From the #NavajoNation to #LasVegas to #Chicago and many places between, this spirited #DIYArt, #advocacy, and #activism project brings folks together in a space of support, education, #SharedOutrage, and a good time. The International Uranium Film Festival is a refreshing example of what activism and advocacy can be: inclusive, expansive, and celebratory,' writes filmmaker Hadley Austin for MovieMaker Magazine.

'“The International Uranium Film Festival (IUFF) is honored by this acknowledgement as one of the 25 Coolest Film Festivals of 2024! Produced by Norbert Suchanek and Marcia Gomes de Oliviera and based in Rio de Janeiro, since 2011 the IUFF has provided a platform for more than 300 films in more than 50 cities in nine countries around the world: Germany, Brazil, India, Canada, United States, Portugal, Jordan, Denmark and Norway.' #LibbeHaLevy, Producer/Host, #NuclearHotseat and Ambassador to the USA for the International Uranium Film Festival."
