Producer’s Night is a unique event dedicated to showcasing narrative short films, providing a platform for filmmakers to share their work with a diverse audience of industry professionals. This special screening takes place during the week when many Oscar-qualifying films are being shown, offering an exciting opportunity for filmmakers to connect and engage with others in the film community.

A TRACK RECORD OF SUCCESS 

Producer's Night has already proven its value. The event's inaugural 'Film of the Year,' Ala Kachuu by Maria Brendle, went on to secure an official Academy Award®️ nomination in the 'Live Action Short Film' category. Similarly, subsequent winners like Ousmane by Jorge Camarotti have captured the attention of both audiences and the Academy. With each edition, the event continues to expand its reach, highlighting films across a variety of genres while remaining committed to its core focus on the 'Live Action Short Film' category.
