I was wondering if the majority of you compress your film before previewing at a film festival, or do most of you just keep it uncompressed and play it off of your camera?

Most of the film festival want you to submit a dvd screener for the selection process. For the actual screening, there are a variety of methods and each festival has their own.
If you're serious about getting into festivals, this book (http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Film-Festival-Survival-Guide/dp/1580650570/sr=1-1/qid=1159253097/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-8816669-8593607?ie=UTF8&s=books) is indespensible. It's about $15.
You may want to look into Withoutabox (http://www.withoutabox.com/v2/), also. It's free.

Politics at the festival level? I guess I'm just naive, because I wouldn't have expected it.
