Classification X will be the "moving images" category and is divided into four divisions: Narrative Short, Documentary Short, Animation Short and Experimental. With the addition of "Class X," SWAIA is expanding its support to Native artists working in film and video. Like all Indian Market artwork, these films are Native made.

Moving Image Division Descriptions
Division A: Narrative Shorts
Short subject narrative moving images are non-commercial motion pictures that are no longer than 30 minutes. These tell a complete narrative story. It cannot be an excerpted story from a longer project unless the shorter edited version can stand on its own.
Division B: Documentary Shorts
A documentary short is a broad category of visual expressions that "document" reality in 30 minutes or less to include video and film.
Division C: Animation
Animation shorts are the rapid display of a sequence of images of 2-D or 3-D artwork or model positions in order to create an illusion of movement. Entries can only be of one story and must be no longer than 30 minutes. This can include Anime, Classic 2D, Rotoscoping, Stop Motion and flash animators.
Division D: Experimental
Experimental film or experimental cinema describes a range of filmmaking styles that are generally quite different from, and often opposed to "Avant-garde" is also used to describe this work, and "underground" has been used in the past, though it has also had other connotations. An "experimental film" is often characterized by the absence of linear narrative, the use of various abstracting techniques (out of focus, painting or scratching on film, rapid editing), the use of asynchronous (non-diegetic) sound or even the absence of any sound track.
