Since 2011, the International Short Film Day has been celebrated worldwide on December 21 on the initiative of the Centre national du cinéma et de image animée (France)!
Russia is no exception: our country hosted the first All-Russian Short Film Day event initiated by the Youth Centre of Russia’s Union of Filmmakers in 2014.
In 2022, the project received the status of an international film festival and was held with the support of the Presidential Fund for Cultural Initiatives as “Short Film Days”.
We invite you to take part in the film festival in 2024 and spend the longest winter evenings among our friends and partners!
