#AkorokoInsights: Unifrance published a report today on the year 2023 in French cinema, including a brief on the international market for French films. It prompted me to consider what international markets are most receptive to African films broadly, especially as a new year begins, with expectations that global appetite for African cinemas will grow substantially in the coming years.

This really depends on your goals. Is your goal to connect with community and build audiences or to meet with agents and seek representation? You have to think about these. When you work on your film festival strategy, start with this tier of festivals. Look out for the “When” because that determines your premiere status. Then you want to look into niche film festivals like the Cascade Festival for African Films or the American Black Film Festival. Once these festivals respond look into your local film festivals. Also, set aside a budget for traveling.

PRO TIP: Research festivals before applying!  Once you finish your film, submission fees for festivals can really add up. There are websites that allow you to apply to multiple festivals - I like to use FilmFreeway.com - but even if you use film freeway, do your research! Check how long the festival's been running, what types of films they showcase, and if your work fits in. Otherwise, you might just be throwing money away. And don’t forget to set aside some budget for submission fees; it can get pricey, so plan ahead!   #directorlife #movies #cinema #filmfreeway #filmfestivals

Film festivals are often judged on their relevance to the community. 🌍 We recently saw this in the Netherlands, where future municipal and government funding for festivals is firmly based on their relevance to their communities. This isn't just the case in the Netherlands, all around the world film festivals are on a quest for relevance. In that quest they might seek to add more events or have a year-round presence through partnerships with cinemas or educators. 🌟 Great strategies, but they do come with some extra hurdles as the film festival management suddenly becomes a whole lot more complex.

How do regional film festivals ensure that the movies they play get reviewed? What festivals do this best? How can others improve? Granted, SXSW is generally considered to be in the top 2 or 3 most important national & generalist film festivals in the USA, but I am impressed by how many reviews they generate. What are their Best Practices For Generating Film Reviews?
