FILM 47.16 Film Festivals
Film festivals have become increasingly important institutions of film culture, even what one programmer called “an alternative distribution network.” Though invented in Europe in the 1930s, festivals are now a worldwide phenomenon encompassing art, commerce, tourism, and cultural identities. Festivals often provide meeting points for critics, directors, producers, distributors, actors, audiences, and others. Students will undertake case studies of individual film festivals from around the world.
