Welcome to the AZIMUTH International Film Festival — where cinema doesn’t just tell stories; it changes the angle of perception.

In navigation, azimuth is not a destination — it’s a direction. In cinema, it’s the creative bearing chosen by a filmmaker. We are not interested in well-trodden paths. We are looking for bold new routes.

AZIMUTH is a compass for contemporary cinema, based in the heart of Moscow.

We exist to discover, support, and celebrate films defined by a unique authorial vision and artistic courage. Our mission is to create a dynamic platform where fearless debutants and established masters meet in dialogue — united not by where they have been, but by where they are heading.

We are searching for films that:
