Feature Writer: 
Welcome to the Film Festivals section of Suite101. This is the place to find out which movies are causing a stir at Cannes, or which Hollywood actors are using the short film medium to flex their directorial muscles.
Looking for a film festival dedicated to a particular theme? We’ve got articles on the first ‘green’ film festival in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and the Bicycle Film Festival in New York.
This section also focuses on film festivals from the point of view of filmmakers: how to submit a film to a festival, how to make the most of networking opportunities at film festivals or the top film festivals worth the submission fee.
Drop by often to see what’s new, visit my blog or send me an email with your comments and suggestions.
