New Awards Process for 2025
There are two festival awards, one for each program of the festival, Heartstrings and Headtrip.
The films will be reviewed by the participating filmmakers themselves (as something new starting last year), who voted for their favorite films created by their peers.
There is also an international jury panel of participants from our Spoiler Alert Radio film program, who reviewed and selected their favorites. The list of jury members will be revealed in mid-December, after the conclusion of the festival.
The jury and filmmaker votes are combined to determined winners, who receive commissioned custom art objects created by a past festival winner. More details to follow.
