Film Festivals

Film Festivals - The presentations or showcasing of films in one or more movie theaters or screening venues...

...The films are usually of a recent date and, depending upon the focus of the individual festival, can include major international releases as well as those made outside a country's established film industry. Sometimes there is a focus on a specific genre (e.g. animation) or subject (e.g. gay and lesbian film festivals)...
Film Festivals are typically annual events.
