Recognizing the important role independent films have in the history of filmmaking, storytelling, and culture, the festival wants to help empower the next generation of artists.
All entries are judged by a random team of invited experts from academia and film industry against a high standard of merit and a very competitive acceptance rate.
Every online edition, the fest establishes a comprehensive hierarchy of the most important films in the festival circuit, awarding a considerable number of projects in several different categories.

  • My experience with them was pretty limited, beyond my script SALLY AND GLEN AT THE PALACE winning Best Unproduced Screenplay, but that was certainly delightful.
