Film eligibity

Every feature-length film screened in SFF 2024 (excluding Boxed Set, Restoration and Retrospective titles) is eligible to be included in the GIO Audience Awards. Short films (films under 40 minutes in length) are not eligible for inclusion.

In the case of Australian co-productions and/or hybrid films, the film’s producer will be asked to nominate whether they wish to be included in the International or Australian vote, and/or Narrative or Documentary vote respectively.

To be included in the official count, for each specific film title the number of votes received must be 10% or more of that film’s total sales with a minimum requirement of 50 votes. This threshold does not apply per session but rather per film title.
