The FFTG Awards Film Fest is an annual international digital film festival founded in 2020 in New York City, United States, by filmmaker Rohit Gupta. It is held entirely online over two weeks beginning the weekend following Thanksgiving. Awards are presented in jury-selected and public-voted categories.
FFTG stands for Film Festivals To Go, a platform originally established to support independent filmmakers through marketing, consulting for independent filmmakers and distribution services.
The first edition of the festival was held from November 23 to December 13, 2020. Over a 72-day submission period, the festival received more than 400 entries from 48 countries. A total of 129 projects were selected for the Official Program and 51 were nominated for awards. Major honors included Film of the Fest, PeopleâÂÂs Choice Award, FFTG Spirit Award, and Best Screenplay.
We, The Chosen Ones is the official name of the FFTG Awards jury initiative, launched in 2020. It is an invitation-only initiative in which jury members are selected from the previous yearâÂÂs Official Program.
A coffee table book titled We, The Chosen Ones was also published in 2021, featuring creators and projects from the 2020 Official Program.
