special category for Central New York filmmakers. In order to qualify, an artist must
be a native of Central New York residing elsewhere, presently reside in Central New
York, or have received his/her education in Central New York.
Central New York films, while singled out for prizes, must qualify under the general
prescreening rules. All films are prescreened blind, and there are no acceptances
based on any criteria other than the quality of the film. The festival accepts works
from all countries. Cash awards will be given. There were more than 12 award
categories in the 2011 festival.
The festival recognizes the need to promote the work of film and video artists
beyond that of competition screenings and awards. Therefore, the festival arranges
for further programming of competition films throughout the festival year in venues
that will generate additional press and opportunities for filmmakers.
All members of the selection jury will be professional film and/or video artists/critics.
Competition judges will be highly renowned film and/or video artists. Past judges
have included: Henry Selick (Animator/Director of James and the Giant Peach, The
Nightmare Before Christmas, et. al.) Peter Weller (Director/Actor, RoboCop, Naked
Lunch, Mighty Aphrodite), Yvonne Belen (documentary filmmaker from Puerto Rico),
Carol Morley (award winning documentary filmmaker from England), Gennady
Poloka (renown Russian Filmmaker), Sang In Lee (award winning Korean
Filmmaker), Robert Edwards (Writer whose credits include an Academy Award
nomination for Treasure Planet) Jaime Davidivich (Video Artist, The Gap, Evita: A
Video Scrapbook), Jim Morris (former CEO of Industrial Light and Magic - Lucas
Films, now producer for Pixar), Moshe Mizrahi (Academy Award winning Director,
Madame Rosa), Jay Wolpert (Screenwriter, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Count of
Monte Christo), Laura Karpman (Emmy award winning composer), Tom Bower
(Actor, SAG Film Festival Outreach Committee Chair), Margaret Parsons (Head of the
