I have entered my film The Soul of Things into many festivals around the world. Some accepted the film for screenings and some have not. However, two things seem to be occurring.
Because of the flourishing digital technologies there are many more filmmakers entering their work into the numerous Film Festivals that take place. This makes it extremely difficult to have a film chosen to be exhibited since the Festivals have not expanded their dates of screenings to show more films to try and accommodate the growing numbers. The Festivals seem to keep the same date schedules they already have had for many years. Another trend that seems to be happening is that Festivals are not acknowledging receipt of the entered films to the filmmakers and most do not even send out rejection notices if the films are not chosen. I do know that many Festivals do send out these notices, however, most of the ones that I have entered do not correspond with me about the status of the work entered. I receive the final schedule of events and from there I can tell the film is not accepted. Seems to be a shoddy way of treating filmmakers and their work. I am curious if other filmmakers on the list are also experiencing similar trends. Thanks Dominic Angerame
