AFIN keeps this page for you. If your work has been recognised here there may be a membership waiting that we have had no way to deliver, because the address we hold belongs to whoever entered the film rather than to you.

AFIN recognition

From the Judges, on The Damned Thing (2026)

From the Judges, on The Damned Thing

Costume and production design pull the viewer into an eerie period world, and the direction lets a strange mystery unfold piece by piece. Poetic writing, grounded performances, subtle visual effects and an original score keep the atmosphere alive from first frame to last.

Curated, anonymised highlights drawn from the judges' notes.
