Script-to-Screen 2026 Feature Film Competition TOP 26!

A huge congratulations to our Top 26.

Out of thousands of submissions from around the world, these scripts rose to the top, capturing attention, sparking emotion, and proving that great storytelling always finds its way forward. This is a massive achievement, and it marks just the beginning of their journey with Kinolime.

But this year, more than ever, we need to say something just as important: congratulations to everyone who submitted.

We were flooded with an incredible volume of scripts, and the level of quality across the board was nothing short of overwhelming. Narrowing this down was not easy. So many bold voices, original ideas, and deeply personal stories came through our doors and many that didn’t make the Top 26 were still exceptional, still worthy, still powerful.

This isn’t the end of the road. It’s proof that you’re closer than you think.

To the Top 26: your next chapter starts now.
To everyone else: keep writing, we’re watching.

And for all of you out there, read, vote, and share. We have our Top 26 but we need you to narrow it down to 10.
