As a member of the MIFF, Razor Reel annually organizes the Méliès d’Argent competition for best European fantastic short film. This competition is a recognition of quality and creativity and generates a unique visibility for the film and their directors. The winners will be put in the spotlight by all the federation’s festivals, including the supporting members. This encourages their spread around the world.
Every winner of a Méliès d’Argent also takes part in the competition to win the Méliès d’Or, the award that stands for quality, creativity and imagination. In 2020, “Last Dance” (Danny Gibbons & Alex Scott) won the Méliès d’Argent at Razor Reel Flanders Film Fest. A year later, the short film also won the Méliès d’Or in Sitges.


And the winner of Razor Reel Flanders Film Fest 2022 is…
