USA Film festivals are categorized according to the month they start.
Film festivals are listed according to the most they started; sometimes a film festival starts towards the end of one month and extends to another. Filmmakers looking to enter their films into film festivals must contact film festivals several months before the listing month. Film festival organizers set the deadline for film submission months before the film festivals so they will have time to view, select, and notify filmmakers in advance. Filmmakers need time to make travel arrangements to be at film festivals and make sure there are no conflicts with other engagements.
We also listed film festivals feature films made by African Americans, Asian Americans, Italian Americans, Jewish Americans, Latino Americans, and women.
