Falstaff International Film Festival launching November 14th to 20th in ye olde Stratford-upon-Avon. Celebrating talent from the Midlands as well as over 170 films from all over the world. Tickets are also recessiontastic (basically cheap). It’s the largest film festival in the Midlands and not to miss. Check out http://www.fiff.org.uk/ for more info.
I see a lot of questions, but no answers. How does a festival get listed in your guide? Ray Gibb VP Event Development, Indie Fest USA Entertainment Group, Inc. Producers of Indie Fest USA International Film Festival
I wish this page would tell us not only WHEN these were happening, but WHERE. Some of these don’t have a recognizable city in their name!
Also, I wish this was a more exhaustive list. What is the criteria to be listed on this site? I know of plenty of great festivals that don’t get coverage, and I don’t know why.
We’d like to list our Film Contest/Festival, We have great prizes and Screenings at Cine Gear Expo in Hollywood. Please let us know how to be included—Kimberly Gomez, Film Series at Cine Gear Expo.
If we have a festival to put on your list, how do we go about it? Frances Deters, Executive Director, Riofest Environmental Film Festival, Socorro, NM
How about a month by month guide for when applications are due? Or some advice about where one might find that.
