Odessa International Film Festival

The international competition includes films from all over the world, mostly international or national premieres, for the most demanding and passionate viewers. The film selection is focused on so-called art mainstream, which includes the films possessing a refined artistic quality, yet accessible to the broadest audience possible. For Odessa International Film Festival, viewers are the main focus and, since 2012 the audience awards the Grand-Prix. International Jury awards winners in the Best Film, Best Acting, and Best Director categories. Other non-competition sections include retrospectives, tributes, collections of the newest films from different countries, and festival hits.
