The 2023 Speculative Film Festival happened Thursday and Friday nights. We showed 37 short films from 13 countries over two nights. The film quality was so good the judges hard a hard time selecting the winners, so this year we are giving two Judges’ Choice awards:
- Fetch, directed by Sam Gill, New Zealand
- La Nueva (The Newcomer), directed by Ivan Villamel, Spain
The judges would also like to give an Honorable Mention to:
- All is Well, directed by Elaine del Valle, United States
The Audience Choice was also split between two films:
- The Post, directed by Antonio Souto Fraguas, United States
- The Operator, directed by Matt Riley, United Kingdom
Congratulations to our winners, and a huge thank you to all the filmmakers who submitted their films.
