Book Description

International Film Festival Guide January 2000
This guide offers a wide range of unique information on over 500 film festivals around the world. Excellent for anyone involved in the film industry at any level. Attorney John Sloss writes its foreword. He is according to the Hollywood Reporter " the quintessential indie lawyer [whose] projects are quality all the way". The guide also has feature articles which include the making of "Cuba 15" an award-winning short film by its creator Elizabeth Schub, the benefits of travelling festivals and first hand coverage of different festivals throughout the world. It also includes a listing of producers and distributors, and film schools. Produced in association with the Kodak Emerging Filmaker Program.

There is a brief description of each film festival, with festival dates, addresses, number of attendees, type of film accepted, languages and country restrictions, entry fees, email and website information, contact person and awards. Each entry is separately indexed alphabetically, by month, genre, country and submission date to make searching as easy and quick as possible.

2.0 out of 5 stars Frustrating, June 16, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: International Film Festival Guide: This One Has Everything in It! (Paperback)
With online listings readily available, the listings in this and other film festival books are not particularly relevant. This one in particular, since it is three years old.

The value of these books, then, is the commentary. IFFG has some good stuff, specifically the first-hand accounts, by filmmakers, of their experiences at many different festivals (though sadly they too often consist of reviews of the movies that played at these festivals, which is especially irrelevant four years after the fact). Overall, it is a useful tool for filmmakers trying to decide which festival to attend, though I would say it is inferior to the Gore book in this regard, and quite dated.

Unfortunately, it is marred by absolutely the worst editing I've ever seen. Every page has numerous typographic and grammatical errors, something that is especially ridiculous considering that this is a 3rd edition. The mistakes are consistent across the many different authors who contributed to the book, so these are errors of commission, not omission.

My favorite is the use of an enye (n with a tilde over it) for the word "in", which is particularly incomprehensible in a book with no spanish language content. My current theory is that the text was handwritten, then OCR'd into the computer and rushed to print.

I can't recommend it.
