Many film festivals now have websites and the best place to find out about dates, entry requirements and programs is from the festivals themselves. By far the easiest way to locate film festivals is to use the Filmfestivals.com, which provides a huge list of international events. You can also visit Entertainment Law Resources, run by media attorney Mark Litwak, or Reelmind. Both sites have a comprehensive list and festival calendar.
If you are considering heading to either the Cannes or Sundance film festivals, make sure you check out Cinemagine’s guides for independent filmmakers at www.cannesguide.com and www.sundanceguide.net respectively.
