Films on the festival circuit

How this table is built

Every number here comes from Wikidata, which is public domain (CC0). We query films that carry an award received, nominated for or participant in statement, and keep only the statements we can tie to a film festival item: the award is conferred by or part of a festival, its official website is the festival’s, or the statement names a festival edition. A film shows up only if Wikidata records it that way, so this covers competition entries recorded on Wikidata, not every screening, and well-documented festivals are over-represented. If a field is blank, Wikidata does not have it.

Festivals

Distinct festivals across the whole record (all years). Editions roll up to their festival.

Last 12 months / Upcoming

Festival entries dated between 13 Oct 2025 and today, and between today and 13 Oct 2027. An entry counts only when its date is known to the month or day: from the Wikidata festival-edition item, the statement’s own date, or, for festivals in our directory, our sourced edition dates for the same year. Year-only dates are shown but not counted.

Nominations

Competition entries: nominations plus awards (an award implies the film was in competition). Selections recorded as participant in count toward Festivals but not here.

Wins

Awards received at a festival. Win rate = wins ÷ competition entries.

Festival spread

Number of countries the film’s festivals are in.

Festival weight

Each festival’s rank in our own directory (0–10), or 3.0 when the festival isn’t matched to our directory.

Rank (ours)

score = 1.0 × ln(1 + festivals) + 0.6 × ln(1 + wins) + 0.12 × mean festival weight + 0.35 × ln(1 + festival countries) + 0.25 × ln(1 + competition entries). Films are sorted by score and the percentile is mapped straight onto 9.9 (top) down to 1.1 (bottom), one decimal; tied scores share a rank.

We don’t reproduce any festival’s line-up or any publication’s list. The table is a per-film tally of public-domain statements, and the rank is our arithmetic. Download the data: films.json. Built 2026-10-13. Spot a mistake? Fix it on Wikidata, or tell us.
