The following projects make up the 2025 Annual Finalists Long List.
This year, 120 projects have been selected from the pool of monthly finalists chosen between January and December 2024 — a total of 2,678 films from 59 countries. These annual finalists represent the top 4.5% of all submissions for the year.
The listed projects span the diverse genres featured in the festival’s competition.
This long list will soon be narrowed down to the official nominees list (typically around 80 projects). The selected nominees will be screened on June 7, 2025, at Regal LA Live, downtown Los Angeles, during the 2025 Annual Awards event.
