Declined submission to change genre for film

Hi, I've been having trouble changing the genre for this film (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt32205767/?ref_=ttawd_ov_i). Despite it not being a sci-fi film, it's still listed as that and I'm not getting anywhere with the edit submissions. Does anyone know the best way to get this corrected? To be clear, the film is not a sci-fi film. This film does not contain speculative, futuristic, or technology-based elements required for sci-fi classification, as according to IMDB. The film contains numerous shots of real persons (donkeys) portraying themselves, and is a documentary as already listed on the IMDB page. See sources from reputable outlets that list the film only as a documentary. The articles do not mention the film being sci-fi. - https://thefilmstage.com/11-must-see-short-films-at-tiff-2024/ "The formal switch-up between these two sections, from observational documentary to fast-paced montage of arresting imagery, makes perfectly a strangeness an intriguing experience" - https://povmagazine.com/alison-mcalpine-finds-the-humanity-in-donkeys-and-telescopes/ (documentary magazine) - https://povmagazine.com/the-tragically-hip-okurimono-lead-canadian-screen-award-documentary-nominees/ - nominated for Best Short Documentary at Canadian Screen Awards See film festival categorisation below, where they list the film as a documentary and do not list the film as sci fi. - https://nouveaucinema.ca/en/films/perfectly-a-strangeness Thank you!
