SER2025 Film Festival Judging Considerations

Ecological restoration (ER) films can come from near and far and cover a variety of topics across different styles, formats and places and feature a range of people and messages. Some of the things that our panel of judges will be considering are Impact, content and story, storytelling tactics, ER principles, technical production (audio, video, editing) and scholarly citizenship. These are broken down further in the following list of criteria. As you are working through the learning materials in this course it’s important to keep these in mind as they align with the judging criteria for submissions from training course participants.
