Dear Filmmakers,
MOMO Film Festival (MOMO FF) is an independent, international celebration of cinematic freedom and authentic voices. Our mission is simple: to champion powerful storytelling in all its forms—regardless of budget, access, or industry status.
Founded by a creative duo—one an actress, TV host, and editor; the other a director, photographer, and filmmaker—MOMO FF was born from a shared devotion to independent cinema. We know how difficult it can be to find platforms that value vision over resources. That’s why we’ve built one: a festival where stories can truly breathe, connect, and resonate.
New for 2026
Beginning this year, we are proud to expand our Official Selection to include Screenwriting—alongside our continued dedication to features, shorts, and 1-minute works.
A Growing Festival with Global Impact
After launching in Hollywood, continuing with our second edition in Birmingham, and celebrating our 2025 edition at the historic State Theatre in Ann Arbor, we now enter our fourth year with a continued commitment to welcoming audiences, uplifting diverse voices, and creating spaces for dialogue and connection.
MOMO FF is more than just a screening event—it’s our creative community. A place for networking, conversation, and shared inspiration. Each year, we expand our reach to connect independent filmmakers with wider audiences, offering a stage where every voice can be heard.
WHY MOMO FF?
At MOMO, we believe every story deserves to be seen. Our festival celebrates cinema in all its forms: from poetic shorts to powerful narratives, experimental works, documentaries, and now screenplays. Whether you’re an experienced filmmaker or taking your first step, MOMO FF is here to support and amplify your vision.
Join us as we continue to grow and make a lasting impact on the global film community. We can’t wait to discover your work—and to welcome you to our 2026 edition.
Jury
The distinguished jury for MOMO Film Festival 2026 will be announced soon. Each year, our jurors bring insight, passion, and an international perspective to highlight bold works that deserve recognition.

Rather unusual, rather trapped on the border between dream and reality, silent film has for several years found affirmation at the PSSST! Silent Film Festival organised by the Trešnjevka Cultural Centre.
PSSST! is a unique film festival presenting the art of silent film in a new, exciting and entertaining way. This Festival is a rare gem on the cultural scene which lacks initiatives offering artists the opportunity to try out their skills in this specific (and demanding!) artistic form.
The event confirms its status as a festival in the classic sense of the word through its competition programme in which contemporary “silent” titles are screened to an audience. The best film in the competition is awarded the Brcko Grand Prize, the official award of PSSST! named after the main character of Croatia’s first feature film Brcko in Zagreb made back in 1917.
But how many real silent films are made today, someone may rightfully ask? Certainly very few are made (although we can’t say none), and so we could ask the question – what is the point of the competition, what is the point of the Brcko Grand Prize? But the concept of this festival should be understood as a media experiment, created in the spirit of heterogeneity and the visual wealth of silent film. Authors can send films to PSSST! which they think could function and communicate even after we remove the original sound, and our festival is responsible for providing high-quality sound support, live music which will accompany the silent projection. Our expert improvisers cover a range of different genres and their hybrids – from rock via classical to jazz and electronic music, providing the audience with an interesting synaesthetic experience. This of course creates a film completely different from the original from which we removed the soundtrack, which is precisely why PSSST! is so exciting.
Apart from the competition programme, the Festival screens a rich selection of film classics from the golden era of silent film.
Silent film, with an expressive musical accompaniment, will lull you into a state of reverie. Its hypnotic power is not destroyed by the rude reality of the spoken word and so it becomes clear that dreams and silent films have much in common – they both deal with simple, direct emotions and action, such as love, hate, conflict or escape. This dimension of silent film emphasises its undying charm.
If you wish to open the door to a different world of unusual poetics again this year, come to PSSST! where the art of silent film lives on.
MosFestFilm is an annual international film festival founded in 2020.
The 2026 competition program will feature feature-length and short fiction films, animation, documentaries, music videos, experimental and student works. Both classical and original scripts, as well as familiar and entirely new cinematic techniques, will be presented.
The festival hosts three competitions: the Main Competition (for professional filmmakers), the Student Competition (for students, recent film school graduates, and independent filmmakers), and the Screenplay Competition (feature-length and short screenplays).
From September 22 to 27, 2026, films selected for the program will be screened in Moscow’s cinemas. The festival will also feature Q&A sessions with directors and creative teams, as well as interviews and masterclasses.
