Other than Sundance, what are really great film festivals for movie lovers who live in the United States?

We are looking for film festival options that have some threshold screening requirements so that the films that are shown are of some quality. (We've been to Sundance, and are looking for something less freezing!)

I would try Toronto International Film Festival The 32nd Toronto International Film Festival will take place September 6-15, 2007.2006 Festival home page:e.bell.ca/filmfest/2006/home/default.asp... film list:e.bell.ca/filmfest/2006/films_schedules/... excerpt: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto_Internatio... 1998, Variety magazine acknowledged that "the Festival is second only to Cannes in terms of high-profile pics, stars and market activity. " Quoted by the National Post in 1999, Roger Ebert claimed "...although Cannes is still larger, Toronto is more useful and more important...."Each year, the festival begins the Thursday night after Labour Day (the first Monday in September in Canada) and lasts for ten days. Between 300-400 films are screened at approximately 23 screens in downtown Toronto venues.

The festival is centred around the Bay and Bloor area, a part of town with several luxury hotels and several movie theatres. Though the Festival in recent years has given more attention to mainstream Hollywood films than in the past, the Festival still maintains its indie roots, featuring retrospectives of national cinemas and individual directors, as well as highlights of Canadian cinema, in addition to the plethora of African, South American and Asian films that regularly show at the festival. Here's a comprehensive list of film festivals in the US, sorted by state, from Wikipedia:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_festivals_in_North_and_Central_America#United_StatesAnd Canada:URL5 may find a specific genre festival that interests you in these lists.

Frankly, the best films are going to be at Sundance and Toronto. Anything at Hamptons Festival or Tribeca Film Festival is likely to be either a huge budget Hollywood picture (one of the Star Wars films debuted at Tribeca) or low budget film that they needed to fill the schedule. I live in New York and I think the Tribeca Festival is a joke.

And the Deniro is one of the people ruining the entire neighborhood of Tribeca. Sources: http://www.e.bell.ca/filmfest/2006/home/default.asp .

SXSW is a good one. So is the Chelsea film fest in NY. There's a new one called Fantastic Fest also, in Texas I think..

SXSW (South by South West) It is coming up in a couple of weeks (March 9-18) and has a very good film festival, along with a music festival and an interactive festival. It is located in Austin, TX. Sources: 2007.sxsw.com/ .

Tribeca Film Festival in NYC Tribeca film festival was started by Robert DeNiro and it is quickly gaining importance and reputation as the next major film festival after Sundance in the U.S. Below is history of the festival: Festival the Tribeca Film Institute successfully launched the First Annual Tribeca Film Festival. Created by Jane Rosenthal and Robert De Niro, the mission of the Tribeca Film Festival is to enable the international film community and the general public to experience the power of film by redefining the film festival experience. The Tribeca Film Festival was founded to celebrate New York City as a major filmmaking center and to contribute to the long-term recovery of lower Manhattan.

After only 120 days of planning and with the help of more than 1,300 volunteers, the inaugural Festival became a critical and popular success. It was attended by more than 150,000 people, generated more than $ 10.4 million in revenues for local Tribeca merchants, and featured several up-and-coming filmmakers. The festival included juried narrative, documentary and short film competitions; a Restored Classics series; a Best of New York series curated by Martin Scorsese; 13 major panel discussions; an all-day Family Festival; and the premieres of studio films Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones, About A Boy, Insomnia, and Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood.

The second annual Tribeca Film Festival brought more than 300,000 people downtown and in excess of $50 million to the local economy. The May 2003 Festival showcased an expanded grouping of independent features, documentaries and short films from around the world, coupled with studio premieres, panel discussions, music and comedy concerts, a family festival, sports activities, and outdoor "drive-in" movie screenings along the Hudson River. The two-weekend family festival was an extravaganza of children's movie screenings, storytelling, family panels, workshops, and interactive games culminating in a daylong street fair that drew a crowd estimated at 250,000 people.

Additional programs included Martin Scorsese's Restoration Film Series, and the Black Filmmaker Foundation's 25th Anniversary Celebration, which highlighted the 10 most influential African-American films of the 20th Centur Sources: http://www.tribecafilmfestival.org/ superdave's Recommendations Ultimate Film Festival Survival Guide Amazon List Price: $21.95 Used from: $10.18 Average Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5 (based on 26 reviews) .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
