Festival description (Edition: 5)

Festival start: 01 January 2024 Festival end: 31 December 2024

Let's take a shot with shorts!

Brand new festival from Moscow, Russia supported by Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation and city authorities.

"Short Shot" - Monthly Awards and Screenings.
Festival is dedicated to filmmakers from all over the World.

Sending us your artwork is not sending it to a Black Hole.
We consider each film, each video!
Each director has a chance to introduce himself and his artwork and greet audience through our social media pages!

We are creators as well and we watch artworks with passion and professional interest.
We believe, that each film, each creator, each director deserve confession!
We are creating community of film lovers and filmmakers.
We communicate a lot, we discuss a lot in our social media!
Join us and be part of Short Shot Fest family!

Our jury selects every month the winning short films for each category:

Best Short Film
Best Short Comedy
Best Short Drama
Best Short Horror
Best Short Fantasy/Sci-Fi

Best Student Short
Best Animation Short
Best Documentary Short
Best Experimental Short

Also, we provide chance for MOSCOW film creators to take a chance in showing our beautiful city in their movies.

How we do?

Choose one or more categories and submit your short film.

Usually, our submissions start on 1th-4th of the month and end on the same day next month.

EACH submitted film will receive a short review from our judge team (on request)

PLEASE NOTE: We don't screen the films online! The members of the jury watch the films online and they choose the Official Selections.

In 5-7 days after the deadline day for submissions we publish the Official Selections list and we notify the filmmakers via e-mail.

During the next 5 days our members of the jury decide the winners for each category.
After that we publish the Winners list and we notify filmmakers by e-mail. The lists are published on social media and on our dedicated website: shortshotfest.com

In the last week of the month we screen the awarded films in art - center "Efir" in the heart of Moscow.
From August, 2021 we are OPEN for new season 2021/2022.
The Grand Finale 2021/2022 will be held in August, 2022 in Moscow.
International judge team, great networking and friendly atmosphere — that’s Short Shot Fest.

Stay tuned and check our website: shortshotfest.com
