The RED Movie Awards (Reims Excellence Director) is an International Season competition with a public Screening Event in Reims every years, celebrating films and filmmakers from all around the world.

OUR MISSION : For several years now is to give back what too many film festivals out there have forgotten to continuously provide to the filmmakers: attention and respect. We want to find, cultivate and celebrate the very best in international and home grown talent across all departments of independent film.

The annual ceremony will take place in Reims, capital of champagne and the French "art de vivre". The best films will be shown at a cinema with a "Belle Epoque" decoration. For the awards ceremony, bring your best suit and your best dress to walk through our RED carpet and photo-call, many journalists will be present to cover the event. Our jury, represented by professionals from the film industry, will elect the Best Of the Year during the ceremony, and the winners will be able to take home the prestigious RED Award. Filmmakers come from all over the world to walk our red carpet.

An incredible competition with films awarded at OSCAR and BAFTA. Our Jury composed by KEVIN MCNALLY, LEE ARENBERG (Pirates of the Caribbean), BERNARD FARCY (Taxi saga), BRUNO CHOEL (French voice of Johnny Depp, Ewan McGregor), ALEXANDRE GILLET (French voice of Chris Evans, Elijah Wood)

Its your chance, to be the one laureate who will be in our gala evening, and walk on the red carpet.
