Wildflower Film Awards
The Wildflower Film Awards (Korean: 들꽃영화상) is an awards ceremony recognizing the achievements of Korean independent and low-budget films. The awards, presented by the Wildflower Film Awards Korea - a grassroots effort by a group of film critics led by founder and organizer Darcy Paquet (with the participation of Oh Dong-jin), aims to create more publicity in Korea and abroad for filmmakers working outside of the mainstream commercial film industry. Awards are handed out annually to films released in the previous year.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

The name "Wildflower Film Awards" is meant to symbolize the creative fertility and diversity of the independent film sector, which grows and thrives despite difficulties in funding and distribution where the local industry is dominated by vertically-integrated studios.[7]
In 2016, Best New Actor and Actress categories were merged and a new Best Supporting Performer section was added.[8]
In 2018, a new category for Best Music and Best Producer were added.[9]
In 2020, the Best New Director (Narrative Films) and Best New Director (Documentaries) categories were merged.[10]

gollark: I kind of want to read one of those verbose rants now.
gollark: Because it'll find some way to wiggle out of the constraint, or come up with some solution which is still bad, and because "maximize happiness" might not be a goal we want anyway, and because that does not actually fix current problems.
gollark: Solar would probably be more widely used if energy storage was better.
gollark: According to Wikipedia you get about a kilowatt per square meter of solar energy at the equator, which seems good.
gollark: Doesn't making tritium for fusion need fission anyway?
