@moviemakermag today announced that #SAVFF has been named one of MovieMaker’s 50 Film Festivals Worth the Entry Fee in 2021! I expect film festivals to come roaring back in the coming months but smartly, and safely, balancing our love of film with our top priority, protecting everyone’s health, said MovieMaker editor-in-chief Tim Molloy. These festivals have supported their communities, audiences and filmmakers with never-give-up innovations to celebrate our love of ...movies. Some of the things they perfected in 2020, like virtual screenings, are here to stay, even for festivals that return to in-person, indoor showings. But we didn’t just choose these festivals based on their handling of the pandemic. They made this list by proving themselves to be of serious value to the next generation of moviemakers, through awards, prizes, distribution deals, and meetings with future collaborators and friends. #filmfestival #filmmaking #savannahgeorgia #filminsavannah

Discounts for film submission fees to the 2021 festival end in just 10 days. Don't delay in taking advantage of the discounts. Submit your film now to FilmFreeway.
