IMDB Not correcting incorrect information on the site

Hi I have tried to update this several times.

Essentially this page: http://www.imdb.com/event/ev0002068/2017/1

is in the wrong place and should be merged with this page http://www.imdb.com/event/ev0001524/2017/1

The actual DFCC awards for 2017 are as in the links below:
https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/film/the-best-in-film-2017-according-to-the-dublin-film-critics-circle-1.3327582 

And if you look at the 2016 listings you'll see are correct:
http://www.imdb.com/event/ev0002068/2016/1/?ref_=ev_eh

Please update as this is very important for our film in particular as to win Best Irish Film was a great achievement for us and credit where credit is due.

Also we need to correct that there is only one Michael Dwyer award on http://www.imdb.com/event/ev0001524/2017/1 for Sanctuary and it went to the cast as listed. so the one that just says Sanctuary should be removed.

Thank you

Kind regards

Len Collin

Hi Michelle
It has been over two months now and this can have quite a significant impact on a low budget film. The cast are all actors with Intellectual disabilities, Downs, Autism and epilepsy. The film helped change the law in Ireland... but getting IMDB to correct wrong information seems beyond us. is there anything you can do to expedite the situation please... as we need as much help as possible. Thank you. Len

Hi Len,

Apologies for the delay, we are working on this. We've removed the duplicate Sanctuary award now on https://www.imdb.com/event/ev0001524/2017/1.

Just to clarify are these 2 event pages - ev0001524 and ev0002068 entirely separate events and festivals and is the 2017 data on ev0002068/ just attached to the wrong event page as the Dublin Critic's Circle acted as the jury at the Dublin International Film Festival? Do the Dublin Film Critic's Circle also have their own separate event with their own awards which is separate from the Dublin International Film Festival? Or are these 2 events the same and need to be entirely merged for all years? If so was the ever a time when they were separate events before they merged into one?

These sources suggest that they are the same:
https://www.irishtimes.com/blogs/screenwriter/2015/03/29/the-winners-at-jdiff-from-the-dublin-film-c...

https://www.irishtimes.com/blogs/screenwriter/2017/02/26/the-dfcc-awards-at-the-audi-dublin-internat...

However if they were ever different events with separate prizes awarded at each then we should retain two pages up until the point they became a joint event.

Any feedback would be appreciated. Once we know this information we can look to rectify the problem.

Regards,
Will

Hi Will

They are two separate things.

ADIFF which used to be JDIFF (Dublin International film festival) Has Jury Awards for that festival decided by a panel of four members of the Dublin Film Critics Circle.  So they awarded The Michael Dwyer Discovery award to the Cast of Sanctuary at that Festival. Best Film at that Festival was Handsome Devil.

However at the end of the year All members of the Dublin Film Critics Circle vote on Annual awards. 

The correct format for the page is as on 2016 - https://www.imdb.com/event/ev0002068/2016/1/?ref_=ev_eh

What is on IMDB for 2017 under that link is all wrong and belongs on this page with the information that is already on there.
https://www.imdb.com/event/ev0001524/2017/1

What should be on this page: https://www.imdb.com/event/ev0002068/2017/1

Is this information:
https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/film/the-best-in-film-2017-according-to-the-dublin-film-critics-c...

The awards for 2018 are made at the end of the year. 

Hope that helps

best

Len

Thanks Len I've moved all nominations previously listed on https://www.imdb.com/event/ev0002068/2017/1 to https://www.imdb.com/event/ev0001524/2017/1 and submitted the Top 10 Best Films and the top 3 Irish Feature Film Award wins to the page to help differentiate the two events. I've also taken further internal steps to ensure that these two events aren't confused again.

Thank you for reporting the issue.

Will
