THE AUDIENCE VOTES TOO!

That’s right. Your opinion really counts.

You could help shape the direction of a the filmmakers’ careers.  Here’s how the judging works:

1) The audience watches the films and rates each film on a scale of 1 to 5 based on its emotional or intellectual impact. This means that your attendance and vote determine which movies are sent to the judges.  It’s a very big responsibility you have in helping determine the filmmakers’ cinematic paths.

2) The films rated highest by the audience become the finalists.

3) Those finalist films go to our elite jury panel for the their vote.

4) The results will be announced on the website as soon as possible after the festival.
