Please note that:
"Awards" tables are not for listing every individual film festival where the film was ever screened, they are only for listing awards, and "official selection at X Film Festival" is not an award. We are not interested in exhaustively listing every single film festival where a film was ever screened, so film festival selections do not go in the awards table and do not get their own separate table either.
Film festival awards do not curate or announce shortlists of "nominees" for their awards, and simply judge all of the entries that were screened at the festival before announcing the winner. So the film was not a "nominee" for any film festival award that it didn't win — a film is only a "nominee" for awards that curate and announce a shortlist of finalists between the "adjudication of all eligible entries" and "announcement of the final winner" phases of the process, such as the Canadian Screen Awards, and is not a "nominee" for any award where its simple presence at the festival automatically put it in contention.
Even for film festival awards that the film did win, we're still only interested in awards that can be reliably sourced to media coverage, to establish that the award is considered a significant one. We are not interested in awards that get no media coverage, so that you have to rely on the film festival's own self-published website to source the assertion — if you cannot source the award win to a piece of third-party media coverage that reports the festival's award announcement as news, then that award is not a notable one in the first place and thus cannot be noted in the awards table.
