THE ICE MOVIE AWARDS
After many successful years with the RED MOVIE AWARDS in Reims, we are proud to unveil a new chapter in our cinematic adventure:
THE ICE MOVIE AWARDS — Is an association, ambitious festival set in the legendary resort of Courchevel, at the heart of the world’s largest ski area, Les 3 Vallées, in the French Alps.
A place where altitude meets elegance, and where cinema rises to its highest peak.
THE ICE MOVIE AWARDS is an international seasonal competition, with selections taking place all year round — in winter, spring, summer, and autumn — culminating in a spectacular annual ceremony and public screenings in Courchevel, France’s iconic alpine jewel of luxury, glamour, and world-class sport.
OUR MISSION
Just like with RED, our core mission remains unchanged:
To offer what too many festivals have forgotten — true attention and lasting respect for filmmakers.
We seek, celebrate, and elevate the finest talents from around the world, across all fields of independent cinema.
Whether it’s your first short or your tenth feature, if your film dares, touches, or transcends, ICE is your stage.
THE CEREMONY
Our annual gala event takes place in Courchevel, a setting like no other, where snowy peaks, refined architecture, and cinematic dreams converge.
The best films of the year will be screened in one of the resort’s prestigious venues, and the awards ceremony will unfold in an atmosphere of alpine elegance.
Bring your finest tuxedos and gowns to walk the ICE red carpet, under the flash of photographers and the eyes of international media.
Our jury, composed of film industry professionals, will select the Best of the Year, and winners will receive the prestigious ICE AWARD — a sculptural object of French luxury and cinematic excellence.

Join us at the ICE MOVIE AWARDS — where filmmakers from all around the world come to reach the summit of cinematic recognition.
THE ICE AWARD — A SCULPTURAL SYMBOL OF CINEMATIC EXCELLENCE
Inspired by the iconic fractaled angles that made the RED MOVIE AWARDS trophy so distinctive, the ICE AWARD takes the concept further: a bolder, colder, and more sculptural design — like a shimmering block of ice, carved from the very heart of the mountains.
This exceptional piece is entirely designed by the RED & ICE TEAM and crafted in France, blending cutting-edge design with the finest tradition of French luxury manufacturing.
Just like Courchevel — the legendary alpine resort where the ceremony takes place — the ICE AWARD embodies raw prestige, refined power, and timeless glamour.
To succeed in cinema is to climb a mountain — each film, a step forward; each story, a path carved in ice.
SEASONAL COMPETITIONS
Every season — Winter, Spring, Summer, and Autumn — our international jury evaluates submissions through private screenings.
Filmmakers can submit to multiple categories to increase their chances of being selected.
Each Official Selection, Semi-Finalist, Finalist, and Winner will receive our official digital laurels.
All Award Winners will also receive a high-resolution ICE Certificate, may order their ICE Trophy, and will be listed on our website.
The Best of the Season are automatically qualified for our annual public screening and awards gala in Courchevel — where selected films will compete for the Best of the Year title and the ICE AWARD.
