It's not a big deal to send a film to the festivals, but yes, winning an award is huge. When you send a film at festivals, people talk about you and your work, and one gets great exposure.

Karan Wahi

I think that film festivals, we're very often given to understand, are about filmmakers and about films and about the industry of filmmaking. I don't believe that they are, I believe that film festivals are about film audiences, and about giving an audience the encouragement to feel really empowered and to stretch the elastic of their taste.

Tilda Swinton

I am passionate about film festivals.

Vivek Agnihotri

I never go to film festivals. I am allergic to them.

Naseeruddin Shah

After that really, I spent the majority of the spring going to tons and tons of regional festivals throughout America. Every corner of the country, I took the movie to twenty film festivals or something to that extent. I've lost track. Probably done Q&As 40-50 times at this point. It's always hard to watch something I've made, but I've got a little more objectivity and kind of see the film as not just an extension of myself.

Cannes is one of the biggest film festivals across the globe, and getting your film selected for a screening is quite a big achievement.

I don't go to regular music festivals because I tend to run in the opposite direction wherever there's big crowds.

Sheryl Lee

On an average, any short film will cost at least Rs. 60,000. Apart from film festivals, where is the avenue to get that money back?

Karthik Subbaraj

Film schools are now nearly 50-50 male-female, and women are also well represented at festivals and in indie film. But what happens to them after they direct their first film or short? Where do they go? They certainly aren't being given the same opportunities as their male counterparts.

Lesli Linka Glatter

Since I was 20, I wanted to make a short film and send it to international short film festivals. It never happened. I became too big a star to indulge in those things.
