Each year, we will celebrate students and their films at a bespoke screening event, where industry professionals will judge and award student filmmakers in several categories. These awards will not only recognise the best overall film but also highlight outstanding achievements in areas such as direction, screenplay, cinematography, editing, and production design. Special attention will be given to films that exemplify strong narrative craftsmanship, creative innovation, and alignment with the awards’ ethos of non-violence and positive storytelling.

The awards will be selected from films submitted to our short film streaming platform, with finalists being showcased at the screening event, scheduled for March or April 2025. Winners will receive both recognition from the industry and potential opportunities for mentorship, internships, and further development of their filmmaking careers. The Alice Guy-Blaché Awards seek to provide not just accolades but also tangible support to the next generation of filmmakers who are committed to using their craft for social impact.
