Winners will be unveiled at the One Screen Short Film Festival awards ceremony and screening in New York in February 2019.

Some additions and changes have been made to One Screen categories this year.  Due to the high number of submissions from outside the US, One Screen has established a separate “Foreign Film” category.  Also new this year are categories for “:60 Second Films”, Sound Design/Original Score” and “Art Direction/Production Design”.  “Narrative” is also now split into separate categories for “Fiction” and “Comedy”.

Past One Screen winners include Oscar-winning director Laurent Witz and Martín Rosete, director of award-winning feature film “Money”, whose producer first connected with him at the One Screen awards ceremony in 2014.
