Awards and Prizes

MONTHLY AWARDS

All films submitted to Moscow Shorts are privately screened and evaluated by a team of international filmmakers. All selected films receive the official selection laurels.

All monthly winners receive the winner laurels and get the opportunity to be screened in a cinema theatre. Every month we make a short list of films which are going to be screened during the upcoming events. The duration of the screening cannot exceed 100 minutes, so in some cases we don’t screen all winners.

Starting with September 2021, we organize the monthly screening not only in the capital, but in other cities as well. First on the list are Saint Petersburg, Kaluga, Kazan and Tyumen. You can find the full list here: moscowshorts.com/en/venues/

These are the monthly awards categories: Best Short Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Narrative, Best Student, Best Documentary, Best Experimental, Best Animation, Best Music Video

ANNUAL AWARDS

All monthly winners enter the competition for the Annual Awards. The winners of the annual awards receive the Moscow Shorts Trophy. The awarded films will be screened in all our venues.

These are the annual awards categories: Best Short Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Narrative, Best Russian Film, Best Student, Best Documentary, Best Experimental, Best Animation, Best Music Video.
