Un festival français de grande qualité et une cérémonie exceptionnelle dans un cadre sublime ! Très bonne communication avec les organisateurs. Le meilleur festival auquel nous avons participé.

Un festival magnifique dans la capitale française du champagne. J'ai beaucoup apprécié l'édition 2024. Merci pour la mention d'honneur pour le scénario de VIATOR. Je reviendrai certainement une fois le film terminé et pour mes autres projets. Je vous adresse mes meilleurs vœux de Cannes et vous dis à bientôt, Angelina !

This festival makes all the other festivals look bad. It prepares you for an Oscar/Golden Globe experience. There is nothing like it out there. Hands-down, without-a-doubt the BEST. Everything is in the details, but it’s also in the magnitude. They know what they are doing. The movies are great, the people are great. Everything is just great! We traveled across the world to attend this festival and would do it every single year if they would accept us. Wow! What a remarkable, remarkable experience. Just over the moon! Thank you RED! You truly are the BEST!!!!

JUS D’ORANGE was honored with the Best Poster Annual 2025 award at the RED MOVIE AWARDS in Reims, after its win at the 2024 Season bracket, and I’m incredibly thankful for these recognitions. The closing ceremony at the Opéra de Reims was truly unique and elegant, a stunning venue that made the event feel even more special. The festival team deserves the highest praise for their professionalism, care, and vision. With filmmakers coming from all over the globe, it was also a wonderful opportunity to connect with new friends and film lovers, all sharing a passion for storytelling and cinema. Bravo to the RED MOVIE AWARDS team for making this event such a success, and for celebrating cinema with such dedication. And thank you for the beautiful Red Movie Award statuette : it looks amazing!

It's a great film festival. The screening at the opera house in Reims was the best experience. The ceremony was also an entertainment show. Thank you very much for being able to screen our short film The Master of Sento.
