We are accepting submissions for the new Hyde Bay Award for Emerging Filmmakers via Film Freeway through September 30. Eligible filmmakers can submit shorts (15 minutes or less) that reflect this year’s Film Days theme of Second Nature, and/or the broader Film Days goal of highlighting films that explore humanity’s complex relationship with the natural world. Up to three finalists will be selected and awarded passes to Glimmerglass Film Days, November 11-15 as well as a travel and accommodations

Since 2017, Film Days audience members have selected Audience Choice winning films. Review the list to remember what films most resonated with you. As you’ll see, often there is a tie, and honorable mentions as well. It is also important to note that as we review the voting, almost all films get at least a few votes for “best film,” reflecting the range of wonderful films we offer as well as the diversity of our audience.
