International Festival-Workshop of Film Schools Kinoproba

Kinoproba is an international festival-workshop of film schools in Yekaterinburg, a city with its own school of Ural animation and documentary film. The competition shows recent student and debut work in animation, fiction and non-fiction, selected from entries sent by film schools and young filmmakers. Alongside the screenings, the festival runs masterclasses open to anyone, an animation project pitch for debut authors and special programmes on film history, children's animation and film experiments. Admission to the events is free.

The festival dates back to 2004 and is run by the non-profit organisation D.K-Kinoklub. Its first three editions are devoted to animation; fiction joins the competition in 2007 and documentary in 2008. The 23rd edition takes place in Yekaterinburg on 1–5 December 2026.
