Truly Moving Picture Award

Heartland Film honors select studio-released films–entertaining movies that do more than just entertain–with the Truly Moving Picture Award.

The Award honors select studio-released films and serves as a curatorial standard to enable moviegoers to identify impactful films that do more than entertain.

Submissions are received directly from studios and producers for consideration. Films submitted to Heartland Film for Truly Moving Picture Award consideration are judged on their overall artistic and technical quality. Each film is screened by Truly Moving Picture Award jury members and Heartland Film staff. Although some Truly Moving Picture Award-winning films may be shown at the annual Heartland International Film Festival, the Award is not tied to the event; Heartland Film bestows the Award on a rolling basis throughout the year.
