5MFF Film Categories

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.
