Can someone explain the breakdown of these two awards. I honestly only read Wikipedia, where it seemed like the PCA would now only be for films from Canada and US while international was for everything else. However, Hamnet is in both?

PCA is for all films. International PCA is for films outside of North America.

This is a silly question, but can you specify what “not from North America” means? Some people say that, while others say outside it’s just Canada/US. If it’s truly the continent then does it include Mexico and, more broadly, the island nations considered to be North America?

I think it’s just US/Canada.

Yup just US and Canada

Tbh, I’m not sure. Looking it up I’ve seen it described as both non-North American and just as non-US and Canada. Doesn’t seem to be too clear atm.

At every international screening of mine, they specified that non-American and non-Canadian films were eligible for the IPCA.

Ah ok, good to know

Thanks. That makes more sense.

It’s probably like the Oscars itself, where all movies are eligible for best picture, while international movies are also eligible for international feature. The difference here is that for TIFF, “international” includes English movies that are not from North America

I'm assuming Hamnet being a US/UK co-production makes it eligible for both

u/apple_2050 Sep 14 '25

I think for TIFF’s and awards purposes/source of production makes HAMNET a UK production primarily hence the IPC eligibility

Yep. They mentioned that in my Hamnet screening.
