“Hospitality is spelled with a capital ‘H’” at the Michigan-based Capital City Film Festival, says a panelist, who adds, “These people know how to treat a filmmaker! The person who picked me up at the airport had watched my entire oeuvre, and had stacked the back of her car with a full bar and apothecary for the drive. The only thing I wasn’t offered was heroin.” CCFF’s closing night screening was hosted in a hot tub showroom”—a novelty so fun it’s worth the inevitable skin pruning from heated water exposure drawn out at feature-length runtime. Friends were made fast during CCFF 2018’s Brew & View Series, which showed such throwback crowd-pleasers as Beetlejuice and Super Troopers over craft beer at The Avenue, a local favorite watering hole.

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!
