No Admission-Fee Festivals...

[TheThe]

Does anyone know what the best film festivals are to showcase a 20 minute fiction short filmed on super 8mm (but finished digitally), and that DON'T CHARGE A SUBMISSION FEE. I am the proud producer of the film and also completely broke to be paying $40 to $50 for each submission (that's like applying for college). The director is even more broke than I am so it's up to me (Being a producer I can actually afford postage stamps :cheesy.



EDIT:

Oh, the thread title should have read "No Submission fee festivals..." I guess mentioning the whole college thing has brought up irreconcilable traumas and the memories of the whole admission process has taken over my brain. :zombie_smiley:

Thank you very much. Does anyone know which are the better ones in terms of reputation or in overall benefit for the filmmakers?

Does anyone know if Cannes is extremely picky about having all music rights cleared in order to be selected? (one of our tracks is classical music from a commercial CD).
