This is a comprehensive guide to film festivals, however there are so many mistakes in the contact information: wrong phone and email addresses, no contact info, or info for one festival listed as contact info for another -- that contacting these festivals becomes an exercise in frustration. I don't think all this is due to the fact that the pub date was 1998. It appears that the info was never correct. Ugh!

This is an excellent book and a great guide to film festivals, for both filmmakers and film lovers

I wish there were more film festivals listed within this book, however, the important ones are covered

Hopefully, we'll also see an update of it soon

I recommend it to anyone who is submitting films to festivals, anytime soon

I found this to be an excellent and helpful guide to navigating the film festival process. Most helpful were the pointers about how to save money applying for film festivals and how not to "cancel out" your chances at one festival by applying to another. Like with any guidebook, some of the entries will go out of date. That's why they should always be checked before you apply to a particular festival. Most festivals will mail you their application materials, so this book is a good starting point to find which of the festivals are right for your film.
