[Frameworks] Film Festival Blues

Every film festival is telling me that they have received record number of entries from hundreds to thousands. If entries are increasing should not the scope and duration of the festivals increase to accommodate the record numbers. Increased entries also mean increased income to the festivals. A q

Re: [Frameworks] Film Festival Blues

Film festival proliferation is a good thing for me, but focusing on the next time increase in my opinion isn’t the right thing to do. As a young filmmaker I find competitive process of selecting to be an opportunity for growth and scarcity in this industry and that is an excellent way to learn how

Re: [Frameworks] Film Festival Blues

I do not think the competitive nature of festivals in the problem. It is definitely with the PRE SCREENING process. I have sat as a judge for the Experimental Category (New Visions) at the SF Int’l Film Festival. After viewing all of the work approved by the prescreens I request a list of all of

Re: [Frameworks] Film Festival Blues

PS. I once entered a festival that only accepted a certain amount of entries and cut off all entries sent after a specific deadline. This may be a way towards a solution. I would like to know how many films I am competing with. If a festival allows 2700 entries, such as Ann Arbor, I never would

Re: [Frameworks] Film Festival Blues

I agree that prescreening is the problem but the -reason- why prescreening is so difficult is the sheer volume of material coming in. --scott ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/fram

Re: [Frameworks] Film Festival Blues

This is a catch 22 I suggest limiting the amount of entries to what the festival can handle. Maybe they need hundreds of entries for income purposes. On Wed, May 1, 2019 at 11:32 AM Scott Dorsey wrote: > I agree that prescreening is the problem but the -reason- why > prescreening > is so dif

Re: [Frameworks] Film Festival Blues

I agree about the prescreening process, even if there aren't thousands of entries . I spoke with the organizer of a show a few years ago who asked why I hadn't submitted--and he was surprised to learn that I had, but the prescreeners had simply rejected my work. I get the feeling thiis happens a

Re: [Frameworks] Film Festival Blues

It seems to be clear there is more good work being submitted than any festival can handle. It would be great if there was a way of stretching out the festival model into monthly or weekly programing. Something along the lines of Craig Balwin's Other Cinema that has a season. As for funding, EXcine
