Brickworld 2017 Film Festival – Winners!

We are proud to announce the winners of the 2017 Brickworld Chicago Film Festival!
As previously mentioned, this is the first year that we opened it up to entrants from across the globe, and it showed—we received 34 eligible entries; a record number for our festival!

The winners were voted on by an audience of ~100 Brickworld registered attendees. Without further ado, here are the winning entries:

Best Film (by a Brickworld Chicago attendee): “Sale of a Lifetime” by Casey McCoy

Best Film (International): “The Adventures of Kentucky Jackson” by Kris Theorin

“Full Time Job” by Tyler Eyerly placed 2nd and “A Horse’s Tale” by Gregory & Garry Moore came in 3rd in the international voting.

All the eligible festival entries were screened in a continuous loop for the 8000+ attendees of the Brickworld Chicago exposition on Saturday June 17 and Sunday June 18. We also presented a special screening of “Bricks in Motion” (the North American premiere!) to registered attendees.

Congratulations to our winners, and a big thank you to everyone who submitted a film! You can check out all of the submitted films via the following playlist. Enjoy!
