Calendar of Film Markets
What is the difference between a Film Festival and a Film Market?
Film festivals are consumer events that help promote a film in to a niche marketplace. Film markets are trade events that promote a film to the distribution channel -- and frequently have a public element as well to give distributors a taste of public appeal. More business is conducted at MARKETS than FESTIVALS.
Film Markets
Listed here are key "markets" at which disbributors make most of their purchase contacts. Annual timeframes will be given along with websites for your convenience.
Promote your movie events (like festivals and screenings) with SureToMeet.com -- the event promotion system!
