Movies for Festivals is an agency dedicated to the international distribution, promotion, and sales of feature films and documentaries at film festivals around the world.
Once a film joins our catalog, we design a personalized festival strategy for each title and present it to top film festivals worldwide.
What sets us apart is the personalized attention we give to every client and every film.
You will never lose control of your film: we work hand in hand with producers and directors to ensure maximum visibility.
We firmly believe that every film has its festival path — you just need to know where to aim and how to get there.
We know the festivals, we have direct contact with their programmers, and we make sure your film gets into the right hands and reaches the broadest possible audience.
Our catalog includes films by both established directors and promising new voices.
Because the most important thing is making your film visible!
