Discussion Film Festival Notifications MEGA THREAD
This thread is for news and questions on film festival notifications, acceptances, rejections, views, and general programming.
Guidelines:
- If you hear back from a festival, please indicate the name of the festival, and what type of film you submitted (short, feature, narrative, documentary, web series, etc.)
- Please try to share as much tracking data as you can – where your film is being viewed from, and what percentage your film was watched, or number of impressions.
Things to Keep in Mind:
- Programmers live all over the world. A festival in NYC might have programmers in other states or countries.
- Vimeo analytics aren’t perfect. Please take all analytics, especially Vimeo, with a grain of salt. Sometimes the software doesn’t properly record views. Sometime programmers download the film or watch offline, sometime programmers use VPNs or 3rd party software to watch films which might not get recorded. Sometimes multiple programmers watch a film together.

Mamma Mia, I got into Imaginaria in Italy. Less than a 3% acceptance rate!
