Everybody loves recognition. Slapping engraved tin or a miniature person performing the corresponding activity on top of molded plastic or sensibly priced wood and calling it an award is an American tradition.

Some are terrific (Pinewood Derby Trophies, Future Farmers of America Soil Judging Honors). Some are okay (Nobel, Pulitzer, etc.). And some awards, like Oscars, are absolutely worthless. Geena Davis won one for crying out loud (and for acting no less).

The only award that the Gangrene Film Festival confers is the Audience Choice Award. In that way we offer a nod of recognition to the opinions that count the most, namely ours ... and yours.

Audience Choice Award We care about the point of view of the audience and fulfilling their laughter needs. Our audience members selected films from both our General and Late movie sessions to afflict with this honor.
