About

Cinema Perpetuum Mobile (CPM for short) is an annual international short film festival.

Cinema Perpetuum Mobile sticks to its goals to:

  • promoting films by young and independent Belarusian authors in Belarus and internationally
  • searching for new forms and tendencies in cinema on the edge of amateur and professional film-making
  • exploring social issues via cinematographic language
  • develop and strengthen connections between film-makers and film-making communities all around the world

Cinema Perpetuum Mobile reaches the audience not only in Belarusian regions and cities, but in other countries as well. It is you who help us bring independent cinema to more and more people, and our community is growing due to the principles we incorporate in our mission: decentralization (horizontal structure of the festival), self-organization (volunteer basis, grassroot initiative), transparency (possibility to join the community at any time, and contribute to festival organization).
