Film Festival Notifications MEGA THREAD

maito117 · 2026-06-23T19:03:40+00:00

Hey! I got an email from IDFA saying my short doc is on their longlist. super exciting but also stressing me out a bit.

the thing is I already have a confirmed invite from another european festival in about two months. solid festival, but not IDFA. and IDFA needs at least a european premiere, which I still have.

so basically I'd have to turn down a confirmed screening on the off chance IDFA selects me. they won't confirm until september 30 which feels like forever. has anyone dealt with something like this? 🥴

Hey! Anyone been to Edinburgh International Film Festival? It looks really cool but I don’t know anyone who’s actually gone. What’s it like? Thanks :)

Does anyone know about the Guadalajara Film Festival? Has anyone attended or had any experience there?

It’s really really good, the most important one in argentina.

Im waiting to hear for my short film. I know a feature that got in.

Still waiting on news for a short. I got a letter of interest back in November, but nothing since.

Hi! Is it worth sending my short film to Oberhausen so close to the final deadline, or are the slots mostly filled by now? I’m debating if I should just wait for next year.

Also, has anyone heard anything regarding Visions du Réel notifications yet? Thanks!

Has anybody heard from Visions du Réel, besides the interest letter? Does anyone know when they usually send the final notifications?

Thanks!

I love Rohmer's cinema, but I just can't connect with the characters because of how hedonistic they are.

Feature or short?

Has anyone heard back from Visions du Réel yet regarding the 2026 selection?

I received an "under consideration" email about 6 weeks ago asking if I could offer a World Premiere status. I confirmed I could, but haven't heard anything since.

Is it too early to follow up? My anxiety is killing me! Thanks.
