What to Know About the PBS Short Film Festival - PBS

How a Winner is Chosen

A hand-picked team of jury members screen all participating films and following a complex discussion, the members ultimately agree their favorite film. This film is then awarded the “Juried Prize.”

The jury members are respected professionals in independent film and public media and were invited by PBS to participate. This year’s jury members include Eric Gulliver, American Experience Producer; Simon Kilmurry, documentary producer, executive producer, and consultant; Judith Vecchione, Executive Producer, WGBH Educational Foundation; Mike Sargent, Producer and Host, Reelworld/Nightshift; Adnaan Wassey, Digital Media Executive, formerly of POV; Antonia Thornton, Artist Programs Coordinator, Firelight Media; Wendy Llinas, Senior Director, PBS National Programming; Jada Leng, Senior Director, PBS National Programming; and Weenta Girmay, Regional Initiatives Coordinator, Firelight Media.
