Note to Academy Members:

The new Governance Committee has made some modifications to the Genie Awards rules and regulations to accommodate smaller businesses and new independent filmmakers.

Modifications include a reduced entry fee for short films and a reduced entry fee for feature films with budgets under $1.25 million. Also for the first time, feature films that have screened in two Academy approved Canadian film festivals (without a theatrical screening) will be eligible.

“We are doing our best to be all-inclusive,” says Helga Stephenson, ACCT Interim CEO. “It is important that all Canadian films have the opportunity to compete in the Genie Awards and we hope these modifications will make it easier for all filmmakers to participate in Genies32.”
