For Filmmakers:
Films may have been made on any date, regardless of previous premiere, but the person submitting the film must be the copyright holder. Judging is not category-specific; rather, all films will be evaluated in relation to each other, in one of two tracks:
-
Feature Length (40 minutes or more)
-
or Short (under 40 minutes)
All films must be in English OR carry English subtitles.
