Special awards

Special Citation for under-appreciated independent cinema

The Endless – "A genre-bending story of emotionally estranged brothers starring and directed by Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead."

Marlon Riggs Award for courage & vision in the Bay Area film community

Boots Riley – "The musician-turned-filmmaker made one of the most distinctive debut features of 2018: the crazy, shot-in-Oakland Sorry to Bother You. The Oakland resident's influence extends throughout the Bay Area and beyond. His film generated big buzz at the Sundance Film Festival, where it debuted this year, and he's developing a new TV series."
