Welcome to the world of Film Festivals!
August 8th 2007 12:26
Well its about time we found a way to find out about our favourite festivals in a safe and simple blog. None of this checking out sites left right and centre in search of something that might be coming to a screen near you. I'll do my best to keep you up to date with what is happening worldwide and what is near you, but if by chance I do miss a festival you know of please let me know. I may have missed the launching pad of the next Antonioni or even the next Godard.
I will also try to give an editorial on festivals I have attended or festivals that are willing to allow me press credentials and details of what has been happening for them. Most festivals are more than willing. I have just attended three (3) festivals over the last two weeks, and am heading to another on the 23rd.
And remember. It's not just the big festivals that have the best films. I have seen some amazing stuff from film schools and short film festivals where the directors , actors and crew are now in the big league.
Anyway, enough. See if there is something near you.
Not all festivals have their own website, so if its in your local area, check your papers for more details.
