You asked us, “Where is it? Well, where is it?” And now the FFI editors, having digested the New Year's salads, enter the second stage summing up the results of action films for 2021. We are very glad that you are interested in our project and are waiting for it, which means that you want to work with us to identify the best representatives of the action genre in various categories.
We accepted your candidates, collected information, sorted through this heap of options, “packaged” them and now we are waiting for your votes!
ATTENTION! You can vote directly for THREE candidates! So the voting results seem much fairer to us.
In this block you can cast votes for the best short films. Please note that if you suddenly, for some reason, did not look at the presented nominees, you can do so by exploring our section a little "Short Films", where all of the presented tapes are available.
Please remember that this voting is intended to find out which of the options in each category were most liked by the audience. This is not a competition between fans of this or that actor or film!
So, we provide you with the first voting block:

Where is Hydra in the independents?
Alex Ship,
Is the film available with Russian translation?
Danil Chupakhin,
that is, we can watch short films without translation, but our education does not allow us to watch independent ones with English subtitles, well, of course
Alex Ship,
It's a matter of mass participation. A film without translation has no chance in voting, since no one will watch it. The point is not in education (I can just watch films in English), but in the fact that films without translation will be watched by _too_ few people to compete in the voting. It’s better to wait for the film with a translation (if there is one) and launch it into the race of the best next year.
To be honest, I couldn’t vote for either the short films or the sports dramas, because I didn’t watch them. :(
Alexander,
Well, you can watch the announced short films. There probably isn’t even an hour for all of them.
Danil Chupakhin,
I'll correct myself, I'll watch the short film and vote. :)
