Well, I'm afraid we must now stone you to death. Sorry. The thing is, I think we're all so used to getting our stuff distributed, watched & commented on, that we don't give the same amount of thought to festivals, etc that other filmmakers do. (If they didn't get their stuff shown at festivals, it wouldn't get seen at all)
So it never occurs to any of us to share this info here. When I used to make short fiction films, I used to have a huge list of festivals and all their submission dates in my diary. I know it's a different deal - but as DFF shows, there are clearly opportunities for our clips to enjoy international fun & frolics.

I think I share a fair amount here, but some of it slips through the cracks! One of the organizers shoots and edits all the video at chow.com He's one of us!
