IFCT 2006 Award Winners

Thank you to all the 2006 festival participants. It was a pleasure showcasing the work from each and every participant. As with most film festivals, IFCT can only acknowledge a handful of winners who received the highest scores. However, the staff of the festival wants to point out that quite a few categories were extremely competitive with many films receiving extremely high judge commendations. The winner of each category will be contacted in regards to receiving his/her prize.

IFCT wants to thank again all the judges who participated with the IFCT 2006 World Tour. Your contributions are truly appreciated and without your assistance the judging process would not have been possible.
