Pyotr495 is a Canadian short horror film, directed by Blake Mawson and released in 2016.[1] An exploration of anti-LGBT violence in Russia, the film stars Alex Ozerov as Pyotr, a young gay man in Moscow who is lured into a dangerous situation by anti-gay extremists but turns the tables on them with a dark secret that turns them into the prey.[2]
Background
The film was funded partially by a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo in 2015.[3]
Mawson won the Emerging Artist Award at the 2016 Inside Out Film and Video Festival.[4] After the film was released to digital platforms in 2017, it received two Canadian Screen Award nominations at the 7th Canadian Screen Awards, for Best Lead Performance in a Web Program or Series (Ozerov)[5] and Best Direction in a Web Program or Series (Mawson).[6] Ozerov won the award for Best Lead Performance.[7]
The film was subsequently included in Possession, the 16th volume of the Boys on Film anthology of gay-themed short film DVDs.[8]
