Spotlight Award 

Great films often need fans to help connect them to larger audiences. This award is for those films that haven’t yet received the attention they deserve. They may soon be headed to theatres or DVD or VOD. Either way, you should seek them out. Previous winners in this category include BEETLE QUEEN CONQUERS TOKYO (2010) and THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF NICOLAE CEAUSESCU (2011).
