The Festival features a juried competition for the Fernando Birri Award for Best First Work and the Best Film Award. At the jury’s discretion, awards for Best Actor, Best Actress, Best First Feature, Best Screenplay, Best Music, and Best Cinematography may also be awarded. The director of the winning film is invited to serve as the jury president at the next Festival and to act as director-in-residence, giving workshops and/or working on projects in the community.

The Award Sculpture
The bronze sculpture given for Best Film is the work of Peruko Ccopacatty, a Peruvian artist who currently resides in Rhode Island. Ccopacatty is widely reputed in both North and South America for his public art from monumental works in metal to wall murals. He attended the National School of Fine Arts in Lima, Peru where he was awarded “most outstanding sculptor” and graduated in 1976 with the Medalla de Oro. His sculptures are in private and public collections throughout the world. In December 2003 Ccopacatty was honored with the United Nations Society of Writers and Artists Award of Excellence. Ccopacatty told reporter Val Castronovo in 2003, “I speak the language of the Incas. I have never left Peru.”
