Other award:
Mentorship Award (3 winners)
- The Mentorship Award is open to Hong Kong entrants only. There will be three winners, one each from the Short Film (Open Group or Hong Kong Tertiary Students Group), Animation, and Youth groups, and the winning films are not necessarily ifva Award finalists. Winners of the Mentorship Award will have the opportunity to receive one-on-one mentoring from a Hong Kong filmmaker.
- This mentorship will not only provide professional advice on the entrant’s current entry, but may also cover past and future film projects, as well as broader career development in the film industry.
