To ease the pressure on the selection committee, this year's selection was divided into two committees. Festival organizers Chris Robinson and Hayden Mindell judged the Independent Film Competition, which included categories for graduate films, first professional films, independent short works under 50 minutes, and films for children.

A selection committee comprised of Chris Landreth (director of Bingo, Canada), Pjotr Sapegin (Norway), Ryan Larkin (Oscar nominated director of Walking, Canada), and Andrei Svislotksi, (sequence director, Rugrats, Russia) viewed the Commissioned Films Competition entries which included categories for educational films, music videos, ids and opening sequences, commercials, showreels, tv specials, tv series and animation for the internet.
