To ensure that each film and screenplay is evaluated and graded on its own merits, we established a mechanism that ensures that entries are not judged against one another. They are competing against themselves: we evaluate each item on its own merits and provide a score based on an innate value system. We want to ensure that when it's your moment to be judged, the judges' attention is focused on you and not on all the other films in the queue; this ensures that they won't be thinking about comparisons when they should think about YOU.






Best of Festival and Best of Show films are selected by category and region.

"Climate Emergency: Feedback Loops"
(USA)    "BEST OF FESTIVAL"
Science Category"


Directed by Susan Gray

Subtitled in 23 languages and narrated by Richard Gere, Climate Emergency: Feedback Loops is a series of five short films, featuring twelve leading climate scientists, that explores how human-caused emissions are triggering nature’s own warming loops.

 "How ripple effects are adding to our impending environmental doom - excellent quality. "It's like you know there is a cliff that you are driving towards but not sure where it is - do you want to be driving 60 mph or 10mph"
