Applications are submitted to the Festival by the films’ producers, regardless of their type of ownership.
Artdocfest's competition program admits films in the languages of Russia shot in any country of the world. Subtitling or voice-overs are not regarded as the language of the film.
Only films that wrapped production in or after July 2019 are eligible for submission.
Films that have been publicly screened in Russia are not allowed in competition. A public screening is any screening open to general audience.
For details, see the Charter of the Festival.
If you are submitting more than one film, a separate certified application form has to be filled out for each of them.
A link must not contain more than one film. When sending a link to Vimeo or YouTube, please make sure the file is downloadable. For subtitled films, the subtitles have to be embedded into the image (copies with optional subtitles will not be accepted).
Broken links and forms containing false information may be cause for rejection of your application.
Online application can only be submitted via our website by filling in all the required fields (marked with an asterisk*).
