How this was compiled. Our editors assembled this record together with Wikidata's structured claims (award received P166, nominated for P1411, official selection P5072), festival names and years drawn from published Wikipedia articles, and our own web research. Some entries were extracted automatically and have not yet been independently corroborated.

It describes the films we index, not the festival: a year showing one award means one award-winning title in our index, not that the festival gave one award. A further 1 entry carries no year and is not shown above.
