JUDGING STATUS DEADLINES
In order for us to properly judge each film, it may take some time for the submissions to be decided on. This means that the judgment status on your film usually won't be updated until two weeks after the final submission deadline closes. Although this may seem like a long wait, rest assured it's because we are taking our time and are carefully judging each and every eligible submission.
SCREENINGS & EVENTS
We are an annual festival, we hold live screenings in front of a live audience and these screenings aim to showcase some of the films submitted, as well as act as the voting process.
