The Moscowcity International FILM Festival, will showcase the best
short films and its filmmakers from around the world.
The Moscowcity international Independent film festival is a platform for independent filmmakers, where they can show their films on a big screen and to know the opinion of the audience and their colleagues.
We want to create a community of independent filmmakers from different countries of the world.
First of all, we invite directors who make films with a small budget.

We do not limit the films from one person but entry fee must paid for each film.
We accept the films of any genre. It should be a movie with the story, but not an amateur video.
The Festival reserves the right to refuse any film without explanation. In this case, the fee no will be refunded. So you have nothing to lose. No money for nothing. This is our principle.
Because there are free categories to provide your movies.
Our festival is neither bourgeois no pretentious. We just show movies to people. Let the spectators decide themselves what movies they want to see

  • Thank you for honoring my play, "Hell on Neptune." This is the second prestigious award this story has earned from Moscow, and 73rd worldwide. So rest assured you and your fine organization are in great company.

    The next screenplay I'm going to send you, "The Salt Box", is a period piece from the days of our Civil War. This romance between a Union soldier and a southern belle has received great reviews. Can't wait to challenge the world with it.

    Thank you again. Take care. Peace.
