Screening one night only, this juried showcase features the best productions created in 2018-2019 byundergraduate students in York University’s Department of Cinema & Media Arts. The films selected for CineSiege 2018 were chosen from a shortlist, culled from 186 productions made last year.
The nominees were reviewed byfive jurors:Adam Cook, Elise Cousineau, Debbie Ebanks Schlums, Peter Mohan and Myrocia Watamaniuk. The jury picked the productions to be shown at CineSiege, with “best of” awards for each genre and craft area (directing and screenwriting, cinematography,production design,and editing and sound).
The best first year film was selected by the Department’s Production Committee. The best second year films were selected by the second year students through anonymous vote.
