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, in essence, competing against themselves: we judge each item on its own merits and provide a score based on an innate value system.
We want to make sure that when it's your moment to be judged, the judges' attention is focused on you and not on all of the other films in the queue; this ensures that they won't be thinking about comparisons when they should be thinking about YOU.

Judges score entries on a performance scale; winning entries are recognized and awarded for Best of Festival and Best of Show and for two levels of Awards of Excellence, two levels of Awards of Merit, and a Kudos Endeavor Award, or no award at all.

The best-scoring entry or entries are given the Best of Festival and Best of Show awards each season.
Awards of Excellence are granted to entries with truly exceptional artistic and technical achievements.
Awards of Merit and 'Kudos' are given to entries with notable achievements.

 The number of awards given at each level will vary depending on the total number of entries received for each deadline.

  DOMESTIC SHORT SCI-FI DRAMA
 

"Static Space"
Short Sci-Fi Drama (USA)
Directors John Klein, Kate Black



Jamie is a young woman living in rural Indiana struggling to figure out her place and identity.
When she inadvertently stumbles across a frequency on her ham radio and makes contact with astronaut Noa currently orbiting Earth,
the two women are presented with the opportunity to find meaningful connection, even while worlds apart.

KATE BLACK-SPENCE has primarily identified as an actor since graduating from Ball State University in 2008 and moving to Chicago. Consistently working in TV, film, and theatre, Kate gravitated toward world premiere plays where she worked closely with playwrights to find nuance in characters and often collaborated to clarify central storylines and alternate endings.
JOHN KLEIN is a happily married father of three, cinematographer, director, producer, camera operator, lover of dogs, Instagram addict, and all-around joyful dude. He currently teaches film production at Elmhurst University. He is also the producer of Glass City Films, a production company through which he has directed multiple award-winning short and feature-length films, including the Kickstarter-funded post-apocalyptic thriller Chrysalis. Having worked with Kate Black-Spence as an actress on several films, including NightLights and Cry It Out, he was thrilled to tackle Static Space with her as a full-on creative partner, and loved seeing it come to life.



FOREIGN FEATURE DOCUMENTARY

"Let's Kiss (History of a gentle revolution)"
Documentary (Italy)
Director Filippo Vendemmiati



The film is about Franco Grillini, a somewhat late-blooming gay politician from Bologna, born in 1955 into a farming family, with a degree in education, who has always been active in the fight for the recognition of gay, lesbian, and transsexual civil rights.
Through the story told directly by its protagonist, the biopic, with a light tone and using original documentary material, reconstructs over thirty years of political history, bearing witness
to a tough and gentle fight in the name of dignity and equality.
