Moscow International Film Festival is one of the world's most important The Moscow International Film Festival is one of the most important international film festivals in the world, founded in 1959 and held once a year in August, with the top prize being the St. George's Award.

The main purpose of the Moscow Film Festival is to promote the exchange of experience and cooperation between filmmakers from different countries through the screening of films with artistic value and ideological content. It is difficult to compete with international film festivals such as Cannes, Venice and Berlin.

In the early days of the Moscow Film Festival, the main focus was to encourage films from the former Soviet Union and communist countries, but after the collapse of the former Soviet Union, the festival began to reach out and gradually became one of the major film festivals in Asia. It is the second oldest film festival in the world, after the Venice Film Festival. The Moscow Film Festival was established in 1935 and was held every two years from 1959 to 1995, and annually since 1995. Russian director Nikita Mihalkov has been the president of the Moscow Film Festival since 2000. Since 1969, the Grand Prix has been abolished and the number of Gold and Silver Awards has been increased accordingly. The above awards are given to the best feature films, children's films and short films. In addition, there are awards for the best director, male and female actors, special awards from the jury, honorary awards, memorial awards, etc.
