Official Selection

Official Selection is the process by which a film festival or competition chooses certain films to be officially included in their program. When a film is selected, it means the organizers have reviewed and approved it to be part of the event, often after a competitive or curatorial process. Being an Official Selection can provide filmmakers exposure, prestige, and opportunities for awards. It indicates that the film has met the festival’s standards and criteria, and it is recognized as a noteworthy work deserving of showcase among other entries.
