Apply to join True/False 2025 Screening Committee! We call this committee our canaries because they are often the first people to critically consider a new film. As a festival, we value authored work and clear filmmaking vision, work that shows and doesn’t tell, work that leaves room for interpretation, work that takes the viewer on a sensorial journey.

All True/False Film Fest screeners are required to watch and write reviews for a total of 50 films over the course of 5 months between September and January, keeping up with a pace of about 3-4 films (a mix of features and shorts) per week. Your role and reviews are absolutely critical to our programming process as we seek thoughtful screeners who can recognize filmmaking talent and potential, pointing us towards exciting new work.
