Selection Categories
Selected films will be judged based on 4 categories: Best Directing, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, and Best Film.
Selection Process:
- 5MFF Judges look for excellent execution in technical production, unique concepts, and storytelling. At the end of the day, it can come down to just our personal opinions – this is not the Oscars, after all!
- There are no specific categories for films entries.
- Screening Awards will be given out for the following categories: Best Film, Best Directing, Best Cinematography, and Best Editing.
- Pickering Public Library and City of Pickering Staff will not be eligible for Screening Awards and Prizes. They can, however, still submit their works for screening.
