Consider CATE in Santa Monica

CATE is an intimate, hometown, festival for independent films. Located in Santa Monica, Hollywood's backyard, it screens narrative and documentary features and blocks of shorts. The films are well-curated. Overall, I saw a higher standard curation than I have seen at much larger festivals.

Great festival with a good cause and excellent quality programming

SR Film Festival just wrapped its fourth edition with a new selection of excellent films that deal with various social issues without forgoing the quality of the production or the story.

Columbia Gorge International Film Festival now in Bear Lake, CA

We attended the 2015 Columbia Gorge International Film Festival held in Camas, and Vancouver, Washington. One of the events was held in a classroom at the Camas High School, with only 5 people attending the screening. One of those attendees was a member of the CGIFF staff.

This Festival Is the Cat's Meow!

This event is unlike anything else offered in the area! It was amazing to be able to see such wonderful and diverse films that I would otherwise not have an opportunity to see, right here in my hometown.

BEST FILM FEST in the CSRA

This film fest is indicative of southern hospitality. Classy but casual. The films were top notch, everything they screen ranges from interesting to amazing. This is currently the only adjudicated film fest in Augusta, GA and the CSRA.

The best in the Midwest!

Red Dirt has been awarded as one of the best fests in the Top 100 out of all 9,000 worldwide, and it shows! From uniquely-inspired programming to more friendliness and network connections than you could expect, it's a fabulous time every year!!

Visit Petaluma and slow down to watch films

The Petaluma Film Festival has many advantages over larger festivals. Petaluma is a great town with easy 10min. access from Hwy 101.

Update to: Accepted but Poor Treatment

Just attended the festival and I want to be fair, so I want to let people know that they did rectify the situation and I had a very pleasant meeting with the festival director.

FilmQuest a fun genre festival

Attended FilmQuest 2015 as a press member and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the films and organization of the event. Everything is centrally located at a large mall theatre, so getting to screenings is easy.

NOFF has plenty of flavor to spare

Attended the 2015 New Orleans Film Festival for five days as part of the press corp - and loved every minute of it. The great selection of venues spread across the Crescent City does require planning in order to get around. Mostly used the streetcar and Uber to get from one to the other.
