A jury of professionals decided the nominations from among 23 feature films released in 2017. The voting process of the approximately 500 professionals was supervised by PwC Romania.

In her speech Ada Solomon, the producer of One Step Behind the Seraphim, urged the authorities to better support the Romanian cinema. She reminded them that Bucharest lacks an art house cinema for domestic premieres and film professionals need better social protection.
