The Official Selections are reviewed by the Judging Panel and receive scores from the attending audience throughout the festival. After the festival closes, the weighted scores are combined, and the top-scoring films are promoted into the internal 'Network Round'.

The Network Round is hosted on the Lift-Off Network Hub, where the Lift-Off Jury and Network Hub Members score the films and vote for the winners.

After the festival closes, prizes are awarded, and winning projects are placed on the Season Award Nominations Shortlist. Lift-Off Season Award Nominations are allocated by the Jury based on merit within each category.

  • I am deeply honored to receive this award at the film festival for my film that tells my personal journey as a soldier wounded in combat. I wanted to share my story of resilience in the face of post-traumatic stress to inspire and raise awareness. A heartfelt thank you to the festival for this recognition and to everyone who has supported my journey to healing and this project.
