It's never easy choosing from so many brilliant films.

Every submission brought something different to FilmLab, a different story, voice, perspective, style or idea. We're incredibly grateful to every filmmaker who trusted us with their work.

Having taken part in so many festivals ourselves, we know just how much goes into submitting a film. The time, creativity, passion, nerves and hope that someone on the other side will truly see what you have made.

Our Official Selection, Finalists and Winners together represent the films that stood out to us across this festival. While only a handful could receive awards, we wanted the wider selection to reflect just how much talent we had the privilege of discovering.

To everyone who submitted. Thank you. Your films made this festival what it is, and we hope you'll continue making, sharing and telling your stories.

Congratulations to all our filmmakers once again. ❤️
