Alternative films extend current boundaries or conventions of expression and rely on unconventional aesthetic and technical elements. Through the re-examination and re-presentation of structural components such as narrative, non-narrative, verbal, non-verbal, time, space, motion, sound, light and color, ways may be discovered to refresh the filmmaking experience and expand the language of cinema. This type of film may sidestep traditional methods employed in more mainstream filmmaking, however, it is not a "catch all" category for the film that is lacking structure and craftsmanship. Films submitted in this category must meet the above guidelines, and must not be obvious candidates for any other category.
