“This is a film lover’s city” one panelist declares, and it’s only fitting that the coastal California metropolis captured so beautifully in many iconic films plays host to its one of the longest-running film fests in the Americas each Spring. To give a small taste of the fest’s pedigree, Executive Director Noah Cowan joined the team in 2014 from TIFF, replacing the now-ubiquitous Amazon Studios Head Ted Hope. The panelist explains the perfect marriage of this fest and the historic city thusly: “The festival was felt throughout the city as an important event—whether it’s a premiere at the classic Castro Theatre or meet-up with a mix of fellow filmgoers and Oscar winners at a dive bar for a good time.”

Have you heard about the Flickers - Children's Hospitals International Film Festival (CHIFF)? This new and growing festival provides a free program of new and amazing short films to the patients of children's hospitals in the US and Canada (and soon Europe) and its the kids who vote on the award winners at each two week hospital event. CHIFF is part of the Rhode Island International Film Festival. CHIFF was recently endorsed by the US Surgeon General who said that great films are great medicine. How cool is that? You can find CHIFF on Facebook and Twitter using @FlickersCHIFF.
How about calling it "Our reviewers 25 favorite festivals" -- for these are festivals that your jury has presumably been to and likes -- and that's fine. To call it the world's 25 coolest is a wee bit presumptuous, no?
Only 5 from the 25 are not in the USA and Crystal Palace International Film Festival (cpiff.co.uk) which is actually known as the UK's coolest festival is not even mentioned!
