The idea of holding the festival arose due to the vacuum of such initiatives in the city, as well as the desire to create a more "grassroots" than "official" event that would promote current Ukrainian and international cinema and would be open to local communities.
Ivano-Frankivsk International Short Film Festival 4:3 has two competition programs: national and international. The competition films will be evaluated by the jury and awarded with the main competition prize. Each member of the jury can award one film with a special mention.
Please, notice that there are no cash prizes, the winners of the main prizes will receive original trophies.
