The IFFA Award

Recognition that travels further than the screening

The IFFA Award is presented across every competitive category of the festival year. Judged by a rotating international jury of filmmakers, programmers and critics, it is awarded on the work alone — not on budget, country or reputation.

  • Judged by an international jury, rotated every season
  • Open to every film in competition, at no additional cost
  • Winners announced at the closing night of festival
