THE BAKUNAWA
The Bakunawa is awarded to filmmakers whose films received unanimous votes from accredited film critics. The Film Critics do not discuss their awards/choices with the Bakunawa Team and organizers. When they hand in the results, the festival volunteers will have the Bakunawa trophy made (hand-painted by selected visual artists).
The Bakunawa goes with a laminated certificate bearing the design of the Bakunawa trophy.
Categories under this Citation would be unanimous votes for Film Excellence, Film Directing and FIlm Performance only.
