The jury narrowed down a list of 40 semi-finalists to the shortlist who will move on to the script development phase. The finalists will be paired with a professional story editor to hone their scripts, before presenting them to the jury in late December.

The jury will then select six winners, to be announced Jan. 7, 2013, to participate in the eight-day filmmaking program.

The films will then have their gala premieres on Feb. 23 in Vancouver.
