We're just over a month away from the 2023 Digi60 Filmmakers' Festival, which means filmmakers are currently shooting or editing their films for the 60-day challenge. As a way of giving them an extra dose of motivation in their journeys, we thought it would be a good idea to take a break, go back in time and watch some films that have already hit the Digi60 screens. In the list below, we've compiled award-winning films from the 2022 Digi60 Filmmakers' Festival. Grab your popcorn and enjoy!
