Film Festival Resources
Film Festivals are an organized, extended presentation of films in one or more cinemas or screening venues, usually in a single city or region. There are ways to help you get into these festivals, and we're here to help propel you towards these festivals.
*TikTok & Cannes - “TikTok has become the official partner of the Cannes Film Festival — a new partnership that promises to connect the cultural event to the digital platform’s one billion users around the world.” What does this mean for you? It will give you a behind-the-scenes look at Cannes. AND, for any filmmakers on TikTok, there is now an award for a #TikTokShortFilm, a global in-app competition of vertical short films that are between 30 seconds and 3 minutes in length. The jury of the first edition of #TikTokShortFilm will be presided over by a well-known director whose name will be announced at a later stage. Three awards will be handed out during the festival at an event attended by Cannes chief Thierry Fremaux.
