 Films selected by NHFF enjoy being part of a world-class independent film program, and many
of the filmmakers themselves partake in educational workshops, roundtable discussions and gala
after-parties during the weekend.
Several films screened at NHFF have gone on to receive critical acclaim and national distribution. Last year's Grand Jury Award Winner, ON BROADWAY and last year’s Best Feature Film Winner, THE SENSATION OF SIGHT, went on to earn theatrical releases. 2007’s Grand Jury Award Winner, THE TRIALS OF DARRYL HUNT and selected short film BINTA & THE GREAT IDEA each received Academy Award Nominations.
Films are accepted and divided into six categories:
• Features
• Documentaries
• Short Dramas
• Short Comedies
• Animations
• Student Films
In a prestigious Awards Ceremony, the "Granny" - an engraved granite award that pays homage
to NH's Granite State pride - is handed out to one winning film in each category. Other awards
presented are the Best Screenplay Award, the Audience Choice Award and the highly desired
Grand Jury Award.
