By: Santa Fe Film Festival "Even though we were virtual, we live-streamed the ceremony and had the winning filmmakers available for a quick Zoom acceptance, some from as far away as Estonia," said Nani Rivera, Santa Fe Film Festival Director. "We understand how important our festival is for filmmakers and we worked very hard to show this was a 'real' festival that supports both traditional and inclusive categories from Narrative, Documentaries, International, Student, Afro Cinema, Animation, Latin Ciné, LGBTQ+, Native Cinema, Sisters of Cinema and along with a Spotlight on New Mexico during our festival." The Santa Fe Film Festival also worked with Galerie Züger of Santa Fe for their one time only live-stream event of a special curation of art from Earl Biss, known as the greatest colorist of the 20th century, to coincide with the screening of EARL BISS – The Spirit Who Walks Among His People, which was also the winner of the Best of Native Cinema category. The SFFF awards ceremony winners were selected from 103 feature-length and 390 short films from more than 500 submissions and were showcased online via the Santa Fe Film Festival's online streaming platform by local tech company, Xerb.TV which also offers a revenue share to the filmmakers, which further cements the focus of the festival in supporting independent filmmakers. Using the power of social media, the Santa Fe Film Festival was able to not only do live, in-studio interviews at during the festival, but reached out to a number of filmmakers for zoom interviews in advance of the festival, connecting filmmakers and keeping the energy high during the festival and also had a special online lounge for filmmakers. We are grateful for this year's jurors who are recognized in their field for accomplishments in the arts, technical craft and storytelling. Find out more on our website.
