BFG Festival - Edition 2018

By Max_LG (Oct. 17, 2018)





This year, Brickfilmer's Guild (BFG) invites you to participate in the newest edition of their festival. This quality festival brings together the best brickfilm creations published in 2018 - a great way to conclude the past year.



After reviewing previous editions, the festival's main organizer @thefourmonkeys chose to innovate the method of judging its festival a little by opening the list of judges to people who meet these criteria: winning the first prize in the category "best brickfilm of the year"; the "brickfilmer of the year", BFG podcasts guests; former judges and other exceptions if a former judge would like to be replaced. This marks the end of the usual panel of the jury composed of @sillypenta, @Mirko, @MonsieurCaron, @thefourmonkeys and DavidPickett. This is not often enough said: congratulation to the judges for their hard work done year after year since 2012.



This year, brickfilms will be awarded in the following categories:

Best Story and Screenplay

Best Cinematography

Best Animation

Best Digital Effects (Best CGI)

Best Sound Design

Best Original Music Score

Best Voice Acting

Best Brickfilm of Festival

It should be noted that three other winners will be named when announcing the results for the following categories : Best Brickfilm including the BFG logo (to be displayed within the first 5 seconds of the animation), the public vote and the honorable mentions category (rewarding particularly outstanding brickfilms). Some examples of the previous editions are presented in this ARTICLE.



It is a tradition for the organizers to honor the community's filmmakers with community recognition. There will be no physical prize for the winner. Only the winner of the "Best Brickfilm" category can be added to the prestigious list of winners in the Brickfilmer's Guild library. This honorable mention list is available HERE.
