We have just opened our call for judges. Our selection process is a bit different from other festivals. First off, all submitted films are viewed by festival staff who do the first stage of the selection process (stage 1). After this stage is over, filmmakers who submitted to the festival or other film professionals are invited to choose the best films (stage 2). Moving forward, the award winners are decided by our professional jury (tba closer to the festival - stage 3).
We are now coming to the end of stage 1 and are looking for judges for stage 2. So if you have you submitted a film to our festival and would like to be more involved in the process let us know! For transparency (and because filmmakers are the experts!), we would love all our filmmakers to get involved.
Judges will receive up to 10 films to review via FilmFreeway. Being a judge is a great way to get a sense of what kinds of films are being sent to festivals, what films make it in the official selection, and it will give judges an insight into why their films have been either successful or unsuccessful in the past.
