50 Film Festivals Worth the Entry Fee in 2018
Cucalorus Film Festival
Wilmington, North Carolina / November 7-11, 2018 / cucalorus.org / V
“Competition sucks,” declares Cucalorus Film Festival Chief Instigating Officer Dan Brawley. Instead of tense, prize-centric showdowns, this medium-sized North Carolinian creative retreat of sorts devotes its precious time to moviemaker-to-moviemaker bonds formed during late nights at its pastel-painted flagship theater, Jengo’s Playhouse, or at off-beat events like 2017’s interactive installation, where attendees were frosted like living cakes. Post-fest, Cucalorus’ residency program affords moviemakers anywhere from 10 days to three weeks to develop new work.

Agree, remember to have your gold professionally graded and you should ensure that you organise the correct level of insurance to cover your investment.

“Iris Prize Film Festival’s namesake is indeed its calling card—IPFF continues to dole out the largest LGBT short film prize (£30,000) on the planet”
