NOTE TO FILMMAKERS WHO HAVE SENT SUBMISSIONS:
If your submission is not yet on this list, it does not necessarily mean it was not accepted. We have received over 500 submissions this year, and we are still choosing the best ones. Also, please note that it takes significantly longer to analyze features for consideration than short films and videos.

2007 Sansevieria Film Festival Awards.
