What is the selection process for a project and FilmFreeway's Statuses, and how are screenings selected?
From 2021, we will no longer utilise a "Selected" status at all, and will instead allocate nominations and placings at the end of the season only Screenings will be selected as soon as we have processed all films, and when we have chosen placements. Our focus for screenings will be on Award-Nominees first, and curated for the best viewer experience. We are a live screening festival, but also have limitations on the amount of hours we can screen films for Screenplays are following a similar path to films, except they are not being screened Nominations and Placings does not guarantee screening. Results fall wherever they land, and we curate films for live screenings. Films chosen to screen during the festival will comprise of a curated list of award-nominated films, which are suitable to be screened for a diverse audience. We do our best to screen as many films as we can, every year. In terms of how we select films to screen, it generally begins curation in this order: 1) Number of nominations for a film
2) Film screenability
3) Film length
4) How well that film sits among the screening lineup and experience for the audience
