One year before the Fukushima reactor exploded, the International Uranium Film Festival was founded in 2010 in Santa Teresa, the famous artist district in the heart of Rio de Janeiro. The first Uranium Film Festival then was held in May 2011.  Since 2012 the main venue is the Cinematheque of Rio de Janeiro's Modern Art Museum (MAM Rio). The annual Uranium Film Festival - that is dedicated to all films about nuclear power and the risks of radioactivity, from uranium mining to nuclear waste - is a global project. It has already been in dozens of cities in Brazil, Germany, India, Portugal, Canada and USA: São Paulo, Salvador, Berlin, Munich, Lisbon, New Delhi, Mumbai, Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Washington DC, and New York.
