IMTF maintains a virtual online movie theater where fans, producers, and everyone interested in movies can see the creations of filmmakers from around the world.There's a division for traditional trailers--previewing movies already shot--and another category for faux trailers pitching movies still in the dream stage. In addition to the People's Choice Awards, determined by visitor's to the site, there's a set of juried awards including a $5,000 Grand Prize to be announced in December, 2010. First runner-up in the People's Choice competition is Timo Vuorensoia's IRON SKY.
