Awards & Prizes

The Oscow Award – the Oscar with a cow head – was designed and created by members of the Curitiba SVB group to represent the ironic tone against glamour, luxury and alienation, characteristically traits of the human high society, contrasting with the sad reality of animal exploitation. The statuettes will be given as a homage to films according to the audience’s will. This way, the Oscow represents the exaltation of the Mostra Animal soul, being cooperative rather than competitive.
For the 2022 edition, Oscow will be in NFT (non-fungible token).

    We would love to have you and other representatives of the movie on the screening. At your expense, since we don't have a budget to cover these costs.

    Great festival and a great cause! This festival shows films that support activism and raising awareness about animal welfare. The communication was excellent and the festival team very professional. It was an honor for HONK to screen at Mostra! I highly recommend submitting to this festival if you have a film that focuses on the subject of animals and their well-bring.
