Films in Competition

Presented at the Festival since its inaugural year in 1957, the Golden Gate Awards (GGAs) are among the most significant honors for emerging global film artists in the United States. Prizes are traditionally awarded in 11 narrative, documentary, and short film categories and total nearly $40,000. The 2020 GGA competition has been canceled along with the Festival.
