Welcome to the Absurd Film Festival, a unique space for filmmakers who dare to be different, challenge conventions, and create cinema that breaks all molds. If you believe that reality is too mundane, join us and let the absurd take center stage.
Each month, we honor the best films in multiple categories — from traditional awards like Best Film and Best International Film, to bold genre selections and standout technical achievements such as directing, editing, and cinematography.
The highlight of each month is the Rebel Vision Award — a special prize celebrating the boldest, most original, and truly independent works that embody the spirit of rebellion. Perfection isn't required — only a fearless creative vision.
At the end of the season, a selection of the very best films — carefully chosen by our jury — will enter the Official Annual Selection and will be screened during our final event in April 2026.
BONUS VALUE: Every submitted film is automatically added to the international platform Shortmoviedatabase.com, an important showcase for indie creators and a permanent trace of your work in the absurd cinematic universe. No extra steps, no extra cost — just more visibility for your vision.
