Ice Plate is an international winter film festival bringing films and audiences together in Russia’s Tyumen Region. Its second edition takes place on 19–20 December 2026 in Tyumen, Tobolsk, Yalutorovsk and Ishim.
We welcome filmmakers from around the world, from first-time directors and students to established independent voices. The competition spans 15 categories, including narrative and documentary shorts and features, series pilots, animation, children’s films, experimental work, music videos and new audiovisual formats.
We are interested in distinctive perspectives, thoughtful storytelling and filmmakers willing to try something different. There are no restrictions on production year or premiere status, and films already available online are eligible.
Entries are considered by the selection committee and jury for the Grand Prix, category awards and special distinctions. Award winners receive digital certificates. A separately curated programme of films will be presented at in-person festival screenings; competition selection does not automatically guarantee a public screening.
Submissions open on 18 October and close on 30 November 2026. The official selection will be announced on 5 December. International entries are welcome through Festhome.
Cold outside. Cinema inside.
