Haulout (Russian: Выход) is a 2022 Russian-British co-production short documentary film written, directed and produced by brother and sister duo Maxim Arbugaev, Evgenia Arbugaeva.

The documentary is about the Russian scientist Maxim Chakilev, who observes the life of walruses at Cape Heart-Stone in the Chukchi Sea. The international title of the film refers to the term hauling-out, which the science describes as the pinnipeds going ashore for resting or mating.[1]

Produced by Albireo Films, the film had its world premiere in February 2022 at 72nd Berlin International Film Festival.[2]

It was selected for Academy Award for Best Documentary Short Film and subsequently shortlisted[3][4] and nominated for 95th Academy Awards in said category.[5][6]
