Not every festival is for everyone, but I’ve had great experiences at Chicago Underground, where I’ve screened regularly over the past two decades, including this fall’s in-person festival. The festival has good projection, solid audiences, is well attended by accepted filmmakers, and I always discover some interesting new work when I go. I’m planning on going again this summer (pandemic permitting). I’d encourage folks to look at what has screened there in past years and assess whether it looks like a potentially good fit for your work. If it does, I’d encourage you to submit.
There aren’t that many experimental-focused festivals out there, and for my money, this is one of the really good ones.
