One of my duties at this festival is managing awards and certificates for short films. With the existence of competition, of course the winner is something that must exist. And in the process 44 directors have put together their best first works by first registering themselves in the film freeway, an application that really helps DIFF in promoting their shows. From the start, it was announced that there would be winners, namely Best Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Directing, and Best of the Fest, as well as an Audience award based on voting results. But because of unforeseen circumstances we ended up cancelling the Audience Award.

The selection standard also experienced a fairly tight selection, out of a total of 44 films, we as a program had to sort, select, and assess using a score sheet until 10 finalists emerged. With a note that one film must be judged by more than one person so as not to cause bias. After the 10 films have been successfully selected, the 4 films with the most qualified quality to receive the 4 awards will be selected according to their respective titles.

At the end of the event, all the winners have been announced and with the help of a certificate from the design team, I as the program team sent a soft copy to the respective directors.
