A film festival is an organised event in which filmmakers show their latest work. Short films are most commonly shown at film festivals, and the most common audience for a film festival are film enthusiasts. Each festival can have a specific theme, for example, film noir.
The most popular and noble festivals are;
Cannes, Venice, Toronto, Berlin, Shanghai, Moscow, San Sebastian, Montreal, Locarno, Karlovy Vary, Mar del Plata, Cairo, and Tokyo. These are referred to as "A" or "Category one" festivals by the International Federation of Film Producers Associations.
Other film festival categories; Experimental films; Ann Arbor Film Festival.
Independent films; Telluride Film Festival, Sundance Film Festival, Austin's South by Southwest, and New York City's Tribeca Film Festivals. Raindance Film Festival is the most significant, and the biggest festival for independant films.
There are numerous other specific categories of film festivals such as ones with Asian significance, for example, The Kara Film Festival held in Karachi, Pakistan, Animation, Environmental significance, International Digital Film Festival which is in Romania, and Traveling Film Festivals.
To enter a film into a festival, generally a fee is required to have their works screened. This is especially common for the larger festivals, and also smaller "boutique" festivals, such as the British Urban Film Festival in London. However, not every festival needs an entry fee. For example the Rotterdam Film Festival is one which does not charge to have your film screened. Also, smaller festivals in the US are free to enter. Some festivals only accept films from makers in a certain region or area.
